The funding from the third phase of the Welsh Government’s Economic Resilience Fund (ERF) will see wider support being provided to secure jobs and help businesses develop, as well as additional help for firms affected by local lockdowns.


To date, the ERF has delivered almost £300 million of support to more than 13,000 companies in Wales. This has helped to protect in excess of 100,000 jobs which might otherwise have been lost.


This new phase of the ERF will see £80 million being made available to support businesses with projects that can help them transition to the economy of tomorrow. It will require co\-investment from companies and a clear plan about how they will adjust to the post\-covid economy.


Of this, £20 million will be ring fenced to support tourism and hospitality businesses who are facing particular challenges as they enter the winter months.


Meanwhile an additional £60 million will be allocated to support businesses impacted by local lockdown restrictions.


The rest of the funding will be used flexibly to provide additional support, for example to increase lending to Welsh businesses through Development Bank of Wales initiatives and to help companies deal with the impacts of the UK leaving the European Union.


The ERF has been designed to complement and build on the support offered by the UK Government.


Economy Minister Ken Skates said:



> “Our Economic Resilience Fund has been absolutely crucial in supporting businesses throughout Wales in dealing with the economic challenges of the coronavirus and helping protect the livelihoods of more than 100,000 people.
> 
> 
> “The next phase of the fund, worth £140 million, builds on that success, helping us to secure jobs and enabling businesses to continue to develop and grow in these challenging times. There is also a specific part of the fund earmarked to support businesses affected by local lockdowns.
> 
> 
> “This additional help has been designed to complement and build on the support announced by the Chancellor last week, again demonstrating the Welsh Government’s proactive approach to go above and beyond in providing extra financial assistance that we know our businesses and workers need.


The £80 million worth of business development grants will be open to micro businesses, SMEs and large businesses.


* Micro businesses (employing between 1 and 9 people) will be able to apply for up to £10,000 on the condition they match this with their own investment of at least 10%.
* SMEs (employing between 10 and 249 people) will be able to apply for up to £150,000 on the condition they match this with their own investment of at least 10% for small business (1 to 49 staff) and 20% for medium sized (50 to 249\) business.
* Large businesses (employing 250\+ people) will be able to apply for up to £200,000 on the condition they match this with their own investment of at least 50%.


Companies that received grant funding through phases one and two of the ERF, or Non\-Domestic Rate linked support, could also be eligible for phase three of the ERF.


The Minister added:



> “We are going through a time like no other. Coronavirus and the increasing risk of the UK reaching the end of the European Union transition period without a deal have placed incredible challenges on our businesses.
> 
> 
> “As a Welsh Government, we continue to do all we can to back our businesses, our workers and our communities.


Finance Minister Rebecca Evans said:



> “The package of support we have provided for Welsh businesses has been, and will continue to be, absolutely critical as we move into the next phase of addressing this crisis.
> 
> 
> “Today’s announcement provides reassurances to businesses at a time they need it most.


The Eligibility Checker for companies to find out if they can access funding from the third phase of the ERF will be live during week commencing 5 October.

Bydd trydydd cymal Cronfa Cadernid Economaidd (ERF) Llywodraeth Cymru yn neilltuo mwy o arian i ddiogelu swyddi a helpu busnesau i ddatblygu yn ogystal â rhoi help ychwanegol i fusnesau sy’n dod o dan y cyfyngiadau lleol.


Mae’r ERF hyd yma wedi rhoi bron £300 miliwn o gymorth i ragor na 13,000 o gwmnïau yng Nghymru. Diolch i’r cymorth hwnnw, mae rhagor na 100,000 o swyddi a fyddai wedi’u colli efallai fel arall wedi’u diogelu.


Trwy gymal newydd yr ERF, caiff £80 miliwn ei neilltuo i helpu busnesau i gynnal prosiectau i’w helpu i addasu i economi’r dyfodol. Bydd gofyn i’r cwmnïau gyd\-fuddsoddi a pharatoi cynllun clir ar sut i addasu i economi mewn byd ar ôl coronafeirws (COVID\-19\).


O hwn, bydd £20 miliwn wedi’i glustnodi i helpu busnesau twristiaeth a lletygarwch sy’n wynebu anawsterau difrifol wrth inni gamu tua’r gaeaf.


Yn y cyfamser, caiff £60 miliwn ei neilltuo i helpu busnesau y bydd y cyfyngiadau clo lleol yn effeithio arnyn nhw.


Caiff gweddill yr arian ei ddefnyddio i roi cymorth hyblyg ychwanegol, er enghraifft, i gynyddu benthyciadau Banc Datblygu Cymru i fusnesau Cymru a helpu cwmnïau i ddelio ag effeithiau gadael yr UE.


Mae’r ERF wedi’i dylunio i ategu a chryfhau’r cymorth sy’n cael ei gynnig gan Lywodraeth y DU.


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Ken Skates:



> "Mae ein Cronfa Cadernid Economaidd wedi bod yn gwbl hanfodol i gefnogi busnesau ledled Cymru i ddelio â heriau economaidd y coronafeirws ac i helpu i ddiogelu bywoliaeth rhagor na 100,000 o bobl.
>

> “Mae’r help ychwanegol hwn wedi’i greu i ategu a chryfhau’r gefnogaeth a gyhoeddwyd gan y Canghellor wythnos ddiwethaf, gan ddangos unwaith eto bod Llywodraeth Cymru’n broactif yn ei hymdrechion i roi’r cymorth ariannol ychwanegol y gwyddom sydd ei angen ar ein busnesau a’n gweithwyr.


Bydd yr £80 miliwn o grantiau datblygu busnesau ar gael i ficrofusnesau, busnesau bach a chanolig a busnesau mawr.


* Bydd microfusnesau (sy’n cyflogi rhwng 1 a 9 o bobl) yn cael gwneud cais am hyd at £10,000 cyn belled â’u bod yn buddsoddi o leiaf 10% o werth y swm hwnnw eu hunain.
* Bydd BBaChau (sy’n cyflogi rhwng 10 a 249 o bobl) yn cael gwneud cais am hyd at £150,000 cyn belled â’u bod yn buddsoddi o leiaf 10% (busnesau bach – 1 i 49 o staff) neu 20% (busnesau canolig eu maint – 50 i 249\) o werth y swm hwnnw eu hunain.
* Bydd busnesau mawr (yn cyflogi 250\+ o bobl) yn cael gwneud cais am hyd at £200,000 cyn belled â’u bod yn buddsoddi o leiaf 50% o werth y swm hwnnw eu hunain.


Gallai cwmnïau a dderbyniodd grantiau yng ngham un a dau’r ERF, neu gymorth gyda’u hardrethi annomestig, fod yn gymwys am arian cam tri’r ERF hefyd.


Ychwanegodd y Gweinidog:



> “Rydym yn byw trwy gyfnod na welwyd ei debyg erioed. Mae’r coronafeirws a’r risg gynyddol y gallai’r DU ddod at ddiwedd cyfnod pontio’r Undeb Ewropeaidd heb gytundeb yn golygu bod ein busnesau’n wynebu heriau anhygoel.
> 
> 
> “Rydym ninnau yn Llywodraeth Cymru yn dal i wneud popeth a allwn i helpu’n busnesau, ein gweithwyr a’n cymunedau.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Cyllid Rebecca Evans:



> “Mae’r pecyn o gymorth rydym wedi’i roi i fusnesau Cymru wedi bod yn gwbl hanfodol a bydd ei bwysigrwydd yn parhau wrth inni symud at gam nesaf delio â’r argyfwng hwn.
> 
> 
> “Mae’r cyhoeddiad heddiw’n rhoi’r tawelwch meddwl sydd ei angen ar fusnesau pan fo’i angen fwyaf arnynt.


Bydd y Gwiriwr Cymhwysedd sy’n dangos i gwmnïau a ydyn nhw’n gymwys am arian trydydd cam yr ERF yn gweithio yn ystod yr wythnos sy’n cychwyn 5 Hydref.
