Ers 17 Mai, mae busnesau yng Nghymru sy'n dal i gael eu heffeithio gan gyfyngiadau coronafeirws wedi gallu gwneud cais am hyd at £25,000 mewn cymorth brys i helpu i dalu costau parhaus tan ddiwedd mis Mehefin.


Mae cyllid ychwanegol bellach ar gael i gefnogi busnesau yr effeithir arnynt gan y newid graddol i Lefel Rhybudd 1, oherwydd yr effaith y mae amrywiolyn delta COVID\-19 yn ei chael ar gyfraddau trosglwyddo. Mae’r newid graddol yn cymryd i ystyriaeth pryderon ynghylch effaith yr amrywiolyn delta ar gyfraddau trosglwyddo a chynnydd posibl yn nifer y bobl sy’n cael ei derbyn i’r ysbyty.


Bydd cymorth ar gael i fusnesau sydd â chapasiti ar gyfer digwyddiadau o fwy na 30 o bobl dan do neu mewn mannau cyfyng ac i fusnesau sy'n dal ar gau oherwydd cyfyngiadau parhaus.


I dderbyn y cyllid, bydd angen i fusnesau fod wedi gwneud cais i gylch diweddaraf Llywodraeth Cymru o gyllid brys, y mae'r dyddiad cau ar ei gyfer wedi'i ymestyn tan 12pm ddydd Mercher 16 Mehefin 2021\.


Bydd ymgeiswyr cymwys yn derbyn y taliad ychwanegol yn awtomatig lle bo hynny'n bosibl, neu bydd angen iddynt hunan\-ddatgan drwy broses syml ar\-lein. Mae manylion ar gael ar wefan Busnes Cymru: Gwiriwr Cymhwysedd Cymorth Busnes Cronfa Cadernid Economaidd COVID\-19 – Mai a Mehefin 2021


Bydd gan fusnesau hawl i daliad ychwanegol o rhwng £875 a £5,000, yn dibynnu ar eu maint a'u hamgylchiadau, ar gyfer y cyfnod hyd at ddiwedd mis Mehefin.


Os yw sefyllfa iechyd y cyhoedd yn caniatáu, mae Gweinidogion yn gobeithio gweld Cymru'n symud yn llawn i Lefel Rhybudd 1 ar 21 Mehefin. Bydd y Prif Weinidog yn cadarnhau unrhyw newidiadau yn ddiweddarach yr wythnos hon.


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething:



> "Fy mlaenoriaeth fel Gweinidog yr Economi yw sicrhau bod Llywodraeth Cymru’n barod i roi hwb cychwynnol i adferiad cryf yng Nghymru gyda'r cymorth cywir i fusnesau a gweithwyr Cymru.
> 
> 
> "Dros yr wythnosau diwethaf, wrth i gyfyngiadau gael eu codi'n raddol, rydym i gyd wedi gweld llawer o elfennau o’n bywydau blaenorol yn dychwelyd mewn ffordd Covid\-ddiogel. Mae hyn yn newyddion da i'n heconomi. Fodd bynnag, er gwaethaf ein llwyddiant wrth reoli cyfraddau Covid\-19 a chyflwyno ein rhaglen frechu, gwyddom fod yr amrywiolyn delta yn parhau i gyflwyno heriau newydd.
> 
> 
> "Mae'n golygu bod angen i ni fynd ati fesul cam i symud i Lefel Rhybudd 1, gan lacio'r cyfyngiadau ar ddigwyddiadau a gweithgareddau awyr agored yn gyntaf, gan fod y dystiolaeth yn awgrymu bod y risg o haint yn sylweddol is yn yr awyr agored na dan do. Er mai dyma'r penderfyniad cywir i Gymru, rydym yn cydnabod yr effaith y bydd yn ei chael ar nifer sylweddol o'n busnesau, yn enwedig lleoliadau priodas ac atyniadau dan do.
> 
> 
> "Mae'r 15 mis diwethaf wedi bod yn anodd ac yn drawmatig i fusnesau a'u gweithwyr gyda llawer yn brwydro i oroesi. Gwnaed aberth personol enfawr gan lawer i barhau. Fel Llywodraeth rydym wedi gwneud popeth yn ein gallu i gefnogi busnesau Cymru.
> 
> 
> "Heddiw rwy'n cyhoeddi cyllid pellach ar gyfer y busnesau hynny yng Nghymru \- fel lleoliadau priodas ac atyniadau dan do \- i helpu i dalu costau o ganlyniad i'r newid graddol i Lefel Rhybudd 1 a oedd yn angenrheidiol oherwydd y risgiau a achosir gan yr amrywiolyn delta."


Mae Gweinidogion wedi darparu dros £2\.5bn o gyllid i fusnesau Cymru, mewn pecyn sydd wedi'i gynllunio i ategu ac adeiladu ar y cymorth a ddarperir gan Lywodraeth y DU.


Mae'r dull hwn, sydd wedi'i dargedu ac sy'n canolbwyntio'n benodol ar gefnogi busnesau bach a chymunedau Cymru, wedi helpu i ddiogelu cannoedd o filoedd o swyddi yng Nghymru a allai fod wedi'u colli fel arall.


Ers mis Hydref 2020, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi darparu 184,890 o grantiau gwerth £686\.6m, gyda cheisiadau i'r cylch diweddaraf o gyllid yn dal i gael eu derbyn a'u prosesu.


Yn ogystal, yn wahanol i Loegr, mae Gweinidogion Cymru wedi sicrhau y bydd y cynllun rhyddhad ardrethi 100% ar gyfer busnesau manwerthu, lletygarwch a hamdden yn rhedeg am 12 mis llawn yn y flwyddyn ariannol hon. Cefnogir y mesur hwn gan £380m eleni i helpu tua 70,000 o fusnesau i gael cyfle i gael eu gwynt atynt.


Ychwanegodd y Gweinidog:



> "Yn gyffredinol, rydym wedi darparu dros £400m o gymorth busnes yn ychwanegol at gyfran Cymru o wariant Llywodraeth y DU ar gymorth busnes yn Lloegr. Bu’n rhaid gwneud penderfyniadau anodd ond roeddent yn angenrheidiol i ddiogelu swyddi a busnesau yn yr argyfwng hwn. Yn fyr, byddai dull torri a gludo wedi golygu colli swyddi a busnesau yng Nghymru.”

Since 17 May, businesses in Wales still affected by coronavirus restrictions have been able to apply for up to £25,000 in emergency support to help meet ongoing costs until the end of June.


Additional funding is now being made available to support businesses affected by the staged transition to alert level 1, due to the impact the delta variant of COVID\-19 is having on transmission rates. The staging takes account of concerns over the impact the delta variant of COVID\-19 is having on transmission rates and potential increase in hospitalisations.


Support will be available for businesses that have capacity for events of more than 30 people indoors or in contained spaces and to businesses that are still closed because of ongoing restrictions.


To receive the funding, businesses will need to have applied to the Welsh Government’s latest round of emergency funding, the deadline for which has been extended until 12pm Wednesday 16 June 2021\.


Eligible applicants will automatically receive the top\-up where possible, or will be required to self\-declare via a simple online process. Details are available on the Business Wales website: COVID\-19 Economic Resilience Fund (ERF) Business Support – May and June 2021 Eligibility Checker


Businesses will be entitled to an additional payment of between £875 and £5,000, depending on their size and circumstance, to cover the period up to the end of June.


If the public health situation allows, ministers hope to see Wales move fully to alert level 1 on the 21 June. The First Minister will confirm any changes later this week.


Economy Minister, Vaughan Gething said:



> “My priority as the Economy Minister is to ensure the Welsh Government stands ready to kick\-start a strong Welsh recovery with the right for support Welsh businesses and workers.
> 
> 
> “Over recent weeks, as restrictions have gradually been lifted, we have all seen many elements our old lives opening back up in a COVID\-safe way. This can only be good news for our economy. However, we know that despite our success in controlling rates of COVID\-19 and rolling out our vaccination programme, the delta variant continues to present new challenges.
> 
> 
> “It means we have needed to take a phased approach to moving to alert level 1, relaxing restrictions around outdoor events and activities first, because the evidence suggests the risk of infection is significantly lower outdoors than indoors. While this is absolutely the right decision for Wales we recognise the impact it will have on a significant number of our businesses, particularly wedding venues and indoor attractions.
> 
> 
> “The last 15 months have been difficult and traumatic for businesses and their employees with many fighting to survive. Huge personal sacrifices have been made by many to make it through. As a government we have pulled every lever we can to back Welsh businesses.
> 
> 
> “Today I am announcing further funding for those businesses in Wales, such as wedding venues and indoor attractions, to help cover costs as a result of the staged transition to alert level 1 made necessary by the risks posed by the delta variant.”


Ministers have provided in excess of £2\.5 billion funding to Welsh businesses, in a package that has been designed to complement and build on the support provided by the UK Government.


This targeted approach, focused particularly on backing small businesses and Welsh communities, has helped protect 100,000s of Welsh jobs which might otherwise have been lost.


Since October 2020, Welsh Government has provided 184,890 grants worth £686\.6 million, with applications to the latest round of funding still being received and processed.


In addition, unlike in England, Welsh Ministers have ensured the 100% rates relief scheme for retail, hospitality and leisure businesses will run for the full 12 months of this financial year. This measure is backed by £380 million to help provide breathing space for around 70,000 businesses this year.


The Minister added:



> “Overall, we have provided over £400 million of business support over and above Wales’ share of UK Government spending on business support in England. It has involved tough decisions but they have been necessary to protect jobs and businesses in this crisis. In short, a cut and paste approach would have cost Wales jobs and businesses.”
