PUBLIC INFORMATION PAGES FROM CAMDEN COUNCIL

Camden Council is committed to supporting local businesses during this difficult time.

There are two main Government grant schemes:

• the Small Business Grant Fund worth £10,000

• the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant Fund worth £25,000.

The Council has paid 1,549 awards of the Government business grant, totalling £38.75 million.

If you own an eligible business you should have received a letter inviting you to update your business details online so you can receive the grant.

Business rates: The Council is re-billing all retail, hospitality and leisure businesses, and private nurseries, who do not have to pay their business rates bill for 2020/21.

These businesses should receive a revised bill shortly. Please get in touch with the Council if you are struggling to pay your business rates.

Paying rent: If you have a business in a Camden-owned property and have contacted the Council already, or you want to discuss your rent, please note the Council is proposing to defer collection. The Council will speak to tenants in the coming weeks to discuss individual circumstances.

The Council is working with Business Improvement Districts to encourage landlords to provide flexible rent agreements to all commercial tenants. For more information about the financial support available to businesses, visit camden.gov.uk/business-support or call 020 7974 6460.
