Yn flaenorol, dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething, y byddai £120m ar gael ar gyfer busnesau manwerthu, lletygarwch, hamdden a thwristiaeth a'u cadwyni cyflenwi sydd wedi’u heffeithio gan y symud i lefel rhybudd 2 a gyhoeddwyd gan y Prif Weinidog ddydd Mercher 22 Rhagfyr.


Mae'r pecyn cefnogi yn cynnwys cyllid o'r Gronfa Cadernid Economaidd (ERF), gyda gwiriwr cymhwysedd ar gyfer y gronfa hon bellach yn fyw ar wefan Busnes Cymru.


Bydd hyn yn helpu busnesau, gan gynnwys elusennau a mentrau cymdeithasol, i fesur faint y gallant ddisgwyl ei dderbyn o’r ERF.


Gall busnesau cymwys wneud cais am grantiau rhwng £2,500k a £25,000, gyda’r grantiau'n dibynnu ar eu maint a nifer y gweithwyr.


Bydd y ffenestr ymgeisio ar gyfer yr ERF yn agor yn ystod yr wythnos sy’n dechrau ar 17 Ionawr 2022, gyda thaliadau’n dechrau cyrraedd busnesau o fewn dyddiau. Bydd y ffenestr ymgeisio ar agor am bythefnos.


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething:



> “Rydym yn cydnabod bod busnesau yn wynebu cyfnod hynod ansicr arall oherwydd amrywiolyn Omicron o’r coronafeirws. Bydd y gwiriwr cymhwysedd sy'n mynd yn fyw heddiw yn eu helpu i gynllunio ymlaen yn ystod y cyfnod heriol hwn.
> 
> 
> “Ers dechrau’r pandemig, rydyn ni wedi darparu mwy na £2\.6bn o gefnogaeth i fusnesau ledled Cymru i’w helpu i ymdopi o dan amgylchiadau anodd. Bydd y pecyn cefnogi diweddaraf hwn o £120 miliwn yn cynorthwyo busnesau sydd wedi’u heffeithio ymhellach a byddwn yn cael cymorth ariannol iddynt cyn gynted â phosibl.”


Bydd busnesau manwerthu, lletygarwch, hamdden a thwristiaeth yng Nghymru nad ydynt yn hanfodol hefyd yn derbyn cefnogaeth gan y grant Ardrethi Annomestig (NDR) cysylltiedig sy’n cael ei weinyddu gan Awdurdodau Lleol. Bydd gan fusnesau hawl i daliad o £2,000, £4,000 neu £6,000 yn dibynnu ar eu gwerth trethadwy.


Bydd Awdurdodau Lleol hefyd yn gweinyddu cronfa ddewisol ar gyfer unig fasnachwyr, gweithwyr llawrydd a gyrwyr tacsi a busnesau sy'n cyflogi pobl ond nad ydynt yn talu ardrethi busnes.


Bydd y broses gofrestru ar gyfer grantiau cysylltiedig yr NDR a'r broses ymgeisio ar gyfer y gronfa ddewisol yn agor yn ystod yr wythnos sy’n dechrau ar 10 Ionawr 2022\.

The application window for the ERF will open in week commencing 17 January 2022, with payments starting to reach businesses within days. The application window will be open for two weeks.
