The fund was aimed at supporting initiatives to help businesses adapt and innovate in order to emerge from this challenging time in a strong position.

COSBOA CEO, Peter Strong said: “Today, we’re excited to announce the first forty recipients of the Small Business Relief Program. This grants program has delivered a much-needed boost to these small businesses at a time when they need it most.
