- Grants of £10,000 for micro-businesses employing up to nine people.
- Grants of up to £100,000 for small and medium sized firms with between 10 and 249 employees.
- Support for larger Welsh companies, which are of critical social or economic importance to Wales.
The Economic Resilience Fund will support businesses forced to temporarily cease trading – to go into “hibernation” – or which need cash-flow support to adapt to a remote way of working.
