The Government has opened applications for its latest round of Covid relief grants for small businesses.

The Small Business Assistance Scheme for Covid (SBASC) offers €8,000 for SMEs, sole traders, self-employed or partnerships that do not qualify for the Covid Restrictions Support Scheme (CRSS) or other sector-specific programmes.
