Coronavirus (COVID-19): Business Support
Adur & Worthing Councils processed over 8,000 applications and distributed over £60m of grant funding to businesses during the period April 2020 to March 2022.
All COVID-19 grant funding for businesses is now closed.
As the government restrictions around Covid-19 have dissolved, no further grant funding is expected from central government. The Councils will continue to monitor national announcements and any updates will be posted on this page.

Business support finder tool

A simple questionnaire that takes business owners under a minute to complete directs them to relevant government financial support:
