North-east businesses have been reminded that the deadline for submitting applications to a range of support funds is approaching.
Thousands of pounds are available in Aberdeenshire to help people and companies survive the pandemic.
The closing date for several types of business support grants is Friday, July 10.
Belinda Miller, head of economic development at Aberdeenshire Council, said: “Our business and finance teams are continuing to work hard to process claims quickly to support north-east firms during this difficult time.
“To date, we have paid out grants totalling more than £40 million to businesses across Aberdeenshire as we all strive to minimise the negative impact on the economy.
“As the July 10 deadline approaches for applications, I would urge any businesses and not-for-profit companies to read the guidance on our website and, if you think you qualify, submit your applications without delay.
“We appreciate this remains a very difficult time for our business community, but our teams are on hand to help with any queries you may have and to help talk applicants through the process.”
Small Business Support Grants; Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Support Grants; the Business Support Fund for Tenants and Occupiers; the Bed and Breakfast Fund and the newly Self-Employed Hardship Fund are among the options available.
