Applications open for discretionary support fund

The fund is being made available to small businesses and the self-employed in the area who have suffered from the impacts of the pandemic since October 1, 2020 and who have been ineligible for any other Covid-19 related business support since that date.

Applications for the fund are open for a three-week period, until February 28.

Within three weeks of the application closure date, Scottish Borders Council will determine the level of grant support that can be provided, issue decisions and make payments.
