Things we could not confirm

  • Page does not state an opening or closing date, so the status is unknown.
  • Eligibility wording is inconsistent: it refers to SMEs under three years old and micro businesses, and also to businesses with up to 10 staff, and says size does not matter.
  • Page says support is for Barnsley residents or businesses paying rates to Barnsley Council, which may differ from the 'live or run a business in Barnsley' test.
