More Salon support | £4k-£9k

Sunak’s additional one-off grant announced yesterday will be open to all salons forced to close and the amount will be based on the rateable value of your salon as this:

• £4,000 for businesses with a rateable value of £15,000 or under
• £6,000 for businesses with a rateable value between £15,000 and £51,000
• £9,000 for businesses with a rateable value of over £51,000

You must apply to your local authority to get this.

This one off-grant is in addition to the existing LA grants salon owners have already received.

This new grant covers you to 3 March when Sunak will “take stock of our wider support, and set out the next stage in our economic response”.

The grant is on a per-property basis, so apply separately for each salon you have.

It applies to ALL the UK. So Scotland as well as England.

Self employed

The last line of the government press release also highlighted an extension of the Self Employment Income Support Scheme, but no further details were given on that nor any support for those that don’t qualify for SEISS.
