Business Resilience and Recovery Scheme

The Business Resilience and Recovery Scheme has been established to support businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic and during the economic recovery. It will provide grants to support short-term business resilience projects and longer-term recovery and diversification projects.

Typical projects which would be supported include:

• Support for the manufacture of products to tackle the Coronavirus outbreak
• Support for Coronavirus related research and development
• Development of new technology or innovation and productivity improvements
• Short term manufacturing diversification, for example to support production of PPE
• Longer term development for future recovery and diversification
• Identification and mobilisation into new markets

The Business Resilience & Recovery Scheme has awarded under £4.4m to 113 projects, generating nearly £6.8m of private match funding.
Figures: January 2021

Our Business Resilience and Recovery Consultancy offers companies dealing with the effects of the outbreak fully-funded advice from a panel of consultants. You can have a review of your business carried out and receive advice about a whole range of areas, including seeking new markets, HR, cyber security and finance. Typically, businesses with three to 10 employees will receive one day of consultancy, those employing up to 50 will receive two days, and those employing more than 50 will receive three days. The criteria for the scheme is the same as above.
