The NSW Government has announced the 2022 Small Business Support Program
This Small business support program is helping businesses survive the impacts of the Omicron COVID-19 strain.
If your business falls under these requirements, you may be eligible to apply for a payment under this program.
1. You have a business or not-for-profit organisation with a turnover between $75,000 and $50 million (inclusive) for the year ended 30 June 2021 or the year ended 30 June 2020; and
2. You are experiencing a decline in turnover of 40% or more due to public health orders or the impacts of Omicron during the month of January 2022, compared to January 2021 or January 2020; and
3. You are experiencing a decline in turnover of 40% or more due to the impacts of Omicron from 1 to 14 February 2022, compared to the same fortnight in February in the comparison year used above; and
4. You maintain your employee headcount as of 30 January 2022.
Those eligible businesses and not-for-profit organisations will receive 20% of weekly payroll as a lump sum for the month of February, with a minimum payment of $750 per week up to a maximum payment of $5,000 per week.
Eligible non-employing businesses will receive $500 per week, paid as a lump sum of $2,000.
The 2022 Small Business Support Program is for the month of February only.
Applications are expected to open from mid-February, so be quick to apply so you don’t miss out. If you need assistance in applying, let me know.
