A grant will be available for those business who are currently eligilble for SBRR - Small Business Rates Releif.  We have been advised by Sunderland Council that this will be administered by the Council’s Business Rates team.
Detailed administration procedures are expected to be as follows to ensure that the support goes to the correct organisations:

• The Council will contact eligible organisations to confirm contact details
• On receipt of confirmation payments will be made via cheque except for those who currently pay their business rates by direct debit who will receive payment direct to their bank.
• Where contact details and/or company names have changed, further clarification may be required
