Mae’r cyllid, a gyhoeddwyd ym mis Rhagfyr, yn rhan o becyn cymorth byw gwerth £450 miliwn y gall y sector lletygarwch, hamdden a thwristiaeth yn ogystal â’u cadwyni cyflenwi ei ddefnyddio a bydd yn rhoi cefnogaeth hanfodol i filoedd o gwmnïau yr effeithwyd arnynt gan y cyfyngiadau lefel 3 a 4\. Mae’r £180 miliwn yn ychwanegol i becyn cymorth gwerth £270 miliwn i fusnesau sy’n talu ardrethi annomestig, sy’n cynnwys busnesau manwerthu dianghenraid, a chaiff ei ddarparu gan Awdurdodau Lleol.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn amcangyfrif, gyda’r pecyn cymorth, gallai busnes lletygarwch yng Nghymru gyda’r hyn sy’n cyfateb â chwech staff llawn\-amser fod yn gymwys i dderbyn cyfanswm o rhwng £12,000 a £14,000, gan ei wneud y cynnig mwyaf hael yn y DU.  

     

Meddai Ken Skates, Gweinidog yr Economi:



> “Mae y cynnydd yn y cyfraddau coronafeirws yn golygu y bu’n rhaid inni wneud penderfyniadau anodd ond angenrheidiol i warchod ac arbed bywydau pobl. Rydyn ni’n gwybod bod y penderfyniadau hyn yn cael effaith ar ein busnesau a does dim amheuaeth bod y cyfyngiadau diweddaraf yn golygu heriau real iawn i gwmnïau sydd eisoes wedi gorfod delio gyda chymaint.   
> 
> 
> “Rydyn ni wedi ymrwymo i wneud popeth y gallwn i warchod ein busnesau yn ystod y cyfnod heriol iawn yma. Mae ein pecyn cymorth yr un mwyaf hael yn y DU ac ers dechrau’r pandemig mae dros £1\.6 biliwn o gymorth ariannol gan Lywodraeth Cymru wedi cyrraedd busnesau. 
> 
> 
> “Mae nifer o fusnesau lletygarwch, twristiaeth, hamdden a manwerthu dianghenraid eisoes wedi derbyn taliadau o £3,000 neu £5,000 yn y mis diwethaf a bydd y cyllid ychwanegol hwn yn hollol hanfodol i gefnogi busnesau cymwys drwy’r wythnosau anodd o’n blaenau.”


Mae’r swm y gall gwmni ei hawlio o’r gronfa benodol i’r sector gwerth £180 miliwn yn cael ei gyfrifo ar sail nifer y staff a throsiant. Mae disgwyl i’r gronfa gefnogi hyd at £8,000 o gwmnïau lletygarwch, twristiaeth a hamdden y mae’r cyfyngiadau yn cael effaith arnyn nhw a 2,000 arall o bosibl mewn cadwyni cyflenwi cysylltiedig.    


Bu gwiriwr cymhwysedd a chyfrifiwr yn fyw ar Busnes Cymru ers mis Rhagfyr i helpu busnesau weithio allan cyfsanswm y cymorth y gallant ddisgwyl bod yn gymwys amdano a’r manylion y bydd ei angen arnynt i wneud cais. Rhoddwyd rhagor o gyfarwyddiadau hefyd yr wythnos ddiwethaf.


Ers diwedd Hydref yn unig, cafodd dros 69,000 o gynigion o gymorth gwerth dros £230 miliwn ei wneud i fusnesau ledled Cymru drwy Gronfa Cadernid Economaidd Llywodraeth Cymru.     


Mae cymorth Llywodraeth Cymru eisoes wedi gwarchod dros 125,000 o swyddi allai fod wedi eu colli fel arall.


Meddai yr Arglwydd Elis\-Thomas, y Dirprwy Weinidog Diwylliant, Chwaraeon a Thwrisitaeth:



> “Rydyn ni’n gwbl ymwybodol, drwy ein grŵp rhanddeiliaid lletygarwch yn benodol, o effaith y cyfyngiadau fu’n rhaid inni eu gosod. 
> 
> 
> Nid oedd hwn y cyfnod Nadolig yr oedden ni wedi obeithio amdano, ond hoffwn annog busnesau i fanteisio ar y cymorth sydd ar gael. 
> 
> 
> “Byddwn yn parhau i wneud popeth y gallwn i gefnogi ein cwmnïau a’n pobl i ochr arall y pandemig ofnadwy hwn.”


Cewch wybodaeth am sut i wneud cais am y pecyn cymorth busnes ar Busnes Cymru. Bydd y gronfa yn pahrau i fod ar agor am bythefnos neu tan i’r cyllid gael ei ymrwymo’n llawn.

The funding, announced in December, is part of a live £450 million package of support that the, hospitality, leisure and tourism sectors as well as their supply chain can access and will provide vital support to thousands of firms impacted by alert level 3 and 4 restrictions. The £180 million is in addition to a £270 million support package for businesses that pay non domestic rates, which includes non\-essential retail businesses, and is being delivered via local authorities. 


Welsh Government estimates that under the package of support a typical hospitality business in Wales with the equivalent of six full\-time staff could be eligible to receive between £12,000 and £14,000 in total, making it the most generous offer in the UK.


Economy Minister Ken Skates said:



> “Accelerating coronavirus rates meant we have had to make difficult but necessary decisions to protect people’s health and save lives. We know these decisions have a knock\-on effect on our businesses and there is no doubt that latest restrictions mean very real challenges for firms who have already had to deal with so much.
> 
> 
> “We are committed to doing all we can to protect our businesses during this very challenging time. Our package of support is the most generous in the UK and since the beginning of the pandemic more than £1\.6 billion of Welsh Government financial assistance has reached businesses.
> 
> 
> “Many hospitality, tourism, leisure and non\-essential retail businesses have already received payments of £3,000 or £5,000 in the last month and this additional funding will be absolutely crucial in supporting eligible businesses through the difficult weeks ahead.”


The amount a company can claim from the £180 million sector specific fund will be calculated based on staff count and turnover. The fund is expected to support up to 8,000 hospitality, tourism and leisure firms impacted by the restrictions and potentially a further 2,000 in related supply chains. 


An eligibility checker and calculator has been live on Business Wales since December to help businesses work out what support they can expect to qualify for in total and the detail they will need to make an application. Further guidance was also issued last week. 


Since the end of October alone, more than 69,000 offers of support worth in excess of £230 million have been made to businesses across Wales through the Welsh Government’s Economic Resilience Fund. 


Welsh Government support has already protected more than 125,000 jobs that might otherwise have been lost.


Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism, Lord Elis\-Thomas, said:



> “We are fully aware, not least from our hospitality stakeholder group, of the impact of the restrictions that we have had to bring in. 
> 
> 
> This was not the Christmas period that any of us had hoped for, but I would urge businesses to take advantage of the help available. 
> 
> 
> “We will continue to do everything we can to support our firms and our people through to the other side of this dreadful pandemic.”
