Financial Support - COVID-19  Additional Relief Fund (CARF)

The COVID-19 Additional Relief Fund (CARF) aims to support businesses affected by the pandemic, but that are ineligible for existing support linked to Business Rates.

The government has funded schemes to provide rate relief for eligible businesses in the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors, and for Nurseries. 

The government has now allocated funding for a discretionary local rate relief scheme to support businesses across Cheshire West and Chester Borough that did not receive rate relief in 2021/22 under the previous relief schemes.

Applications will close on 17 April 2022

Eligibility criteria and online application form can be found by clicking here

The government guarantees 80% of the finance to the lender. As the borrower, you are always 100% liable for the debt.

Extended until 30 June 2022.
