Beware of COVID-19 Grant fraudsters posing as agents

Important information regarding potential fraud

We are aware that fraudsters are posing as agents and encouraging businesses to complete a form/information sheet to allow them to claim a grant on their behalf and therefore gathering all their financial information so they can submit a fraudulent claim and steal the grant. We will provide advice for free so please beware of any offers of help as we want to ensure that this grant money goes direct to the businesses which need it.

If applying for a grant for your business, you should always complete and submit the application yourself. Links to details of both current schemes can be found here:
