This discretionary grant will provide financial assistance of up to £2,000 for 400 individuals who have faced barriers to starting up a business, and up to 100 young entrepreneurs.


The grant will come as a part of a package of support that will include one\-to\-one advice and webinars to build confidence in business practices and develop plans for starting a business.


The fund builds on the Start\-up Barriers Grant, which supported 382 individuals disproportionately impacted by the COVID\-19 pandemic with investment to start a business in 2020/21\.


Sixty percent of successful applicants were female, 12 percent were disabled people, 13 percent identified themselves as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic, while 12 percent were young entrepreneurs.


Yvette Clark was one of the successful applicants and used the support she received from Business Wales and the Barriers Grant to open Fussy, a vintage shop, in the Goodsheds in Barry.


She said:



> “I’ve always wanted to have my own shop and be my own boss. I never thought it would take a pandemic for that to happen, but here I am. Being faced with redundancy was just the push I needed to pursue my lifetime ambition of selling vintage clothing full time.
> 
> 
> “As part of my redundancy, I was eligible for ReAct training. After a couple of courses, I decided to put together a business plan for my own shop and got in touch with Business Wales.
> 
> 
> “After attending the free ‘Starting and Running your own Business’ webinar, I began putting my plan into action with support from an adviser with a huge wealth of experience and knowledge. They provided me with invaluable support throughout my journey.


Business Wales has now increased the advisory support available to help individuals and apply for the grant. The will be available from Monday 13 December 2021 until the end of March 2022\.    


All successful applicants will be asked to consider the role they play in adopting values of equality and sustainability.


Economy Minister Vaughan Gething said:



> “The Welsh Government is firmly committed to delivering a fairer, greener Wales, with prosperity spread more evenly. A focus on supporting more business start\-ups, fostering an even more vibrant SME sector and prioritising innovation\-driven enterprises is key to this.
> 
> 
> “The new fund I’m announcing today will build on the success of the previous grant and address challenges born out of the UK Government’s furlough scheme ending, and help reduce inequality and tackle poverty by reducing unemployment and removing barriers to the labour market.
> 
> 
> “The new funding aims to support over 100 young entrepreneurs, and to offer opportunities to 400 others who would otherwise face greater challenges to becoming self\-employed.
> 
> 
> “This enhanced support and grant will provide a positive pathway for young people, delivering on the offer of self\-employment in our ambitious Young Person’s Guarantee.

Bydd y grant hwn a fydd yn cael ei roi yn ôl disgresiwn yn rhoi hyd at £2,000 o gymorth ariannol i 400 o unigolion sydd wedi wynebu rhwystrau wrth ddechrau busnes, ac i hyd at 100 o entrepreneuriaid ifanc.


Mae’r grant hwn yn rhan o becyn cymorth a fydd yn cynnwys cyngor personol a gweminarau i feithrin hyder mewn arferion busnes a datblygu cynlluniau ar gyfer dechrau busnes.


Mae’r gronfa ategu’r Grant Rhwystrau i Fusnes Newydd, a gefnogodd 382 o unigolion y mae pandemig Covid wedi effeithio’n anghymesur arnynt, drwy ddarparu buddsoddiad i ddechrau busnes yn 2020/21\.


Roedd 60% o’r ymgeiswyr llwyddiannus yn fenywod, 12% yn bobl anabl, 13% yn ystyried eu hunain yn Ddu, Asiaidd ac Ethnig Leiafrifol, tra bo 12% yn entrepreneuriaid ifanc.


Roedd Yvette Clark yn un o'r ymgeiswyr llwyddiannus a defnyddiodd y gefnogaeth a gafodd gan Busnes Cymru a'r Grant Rhwystrau i agor Fussy, siop pethau o’r oes a fu, yn Goodsheds yn y Barri.


Dywedodd:



> “Rwyf bob amser wedi bod eisiau cael fy siop fy hun a bod yn fos arnaf i fy hun. Ni feddyliais erioed y byddai'n cymryd pandemig i hynny ddigwydd, ond dyma fi. Gwnaeth wynebu’r posibilrwydd o golli fy swydd fy sbarduno i ddilyn fy uchelgais oes o werthu dillad o'r oes a fu yn llawn amser.
> 
> 
> “Fel rhan o'm pecyn dileu swydd, roeddwn yn gymwys i gael hyfforddiant ReAct. Ar ôl ychydig o gyrsiau, penderfynais lunio cynllun busnes ar gyfer fy siop fy hun a chysylltu â Busnes Cymru.
> 
> 
> “Ar ôl mynychu’r weminar 'Dechrau a Rhedeg eich Busnes eich hun' am ddim, dechreuais roi fy nghynllun ar waith gyda chymorth cynghorydd â chyfoeth o brofiad a gwybodaeth yn y maes. Rhoddwyd cymorth amhrisiadwy i mi drwy gydol fy nhaith.


Mae Busnes Cymru bellach wedi cynyddu'r cymorth cynghori sydd ar gael i helpu unigolion a gwneud cais am y grant. Bydd hyn ar gael o ddydd Llun 13 Rhagfyr 2021 tan ddiwedd mis Mawrth 2022\.


Gofynnir i bob ymgeisydd llwyddiannus ystyried y rôl y maent yn ei chwarae wrth fabwysiadu gwerthoedd cydraddoldeb a chynaliadwyedd.


Dywedodd Vaughan Gething, Gweinidog yr Economi:



> “"Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo'n gadarn i sicrhau Cymru decach a gwyrddach, gyda ffyniant yn lledaenu'n fwy cyfartal. Mae canolbwyntio ar gefnogi mwy o fusnesau newydd, meithrin sector busnesau bach a chanolig  hyd yn oed yn fwy ffyniannus a blaenoriaethu mentrau sy'n cael eu hysgogi gan arloesedd yn allweddol i hyn.
> 
> 
> "Bydd y gronfa newydd yr wyf yn ei chyhoeddi heddiw yn adeiladu ar lwyddiant y grant blaenorol ac yn mynd i'r afael â'r heriau sy’n deillio o ddod â chynllun ffyrlo Llywodraeth y DU i ben. Bydd hefyd yn helpu i leihau anghydraddoldeb a mynd i'r afael â thlodi drwy leihau diweithdra a dileu rhwystrau i'r farchnad lafur.
> 
> 
> "Nod y cyllid newydd yw cefnogi dros 100 o entrepreneuriaid ifanc, a chynnig cyfleoedd i 400 o bobl eraill a fyddai fel arall yn wynebu mwy o heriau i fod yn hunangyflogedig.
> 
> 
> "Bydd y cymorth a'r grant ychwanegol hwn yn darparu llwybr cadarnhaol i bobl ifanc, gan gyflawni'r cynnig o hunangyflogaeth yn ein Gwarant uchelgeisiol i Bobl Ifanc.
