To ask the Scottish Government what support regarding the COVID-19 outbreak has been or will be extended to businesses that occupy a unit in a shared space, and from what date.
Answer
Phase 3 of the scheme was introduced on 8 June and extended the £10,000 Small Business Grant to firms occupying shared office spaces, business incubators or shared industrial units and who lease the space from a registered, rate-paying landlord, providing they can evidence that they are required to contribute towards the charges associated with the non-domestic rates liability via the ratepayer and that they had at least one paid employee on the payroll (not including themselves) as at 17 March.
