Yn ddiweddar cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth Cymru £340 miliwn i helpu busnesau yr effeithir arnynt gan y cyfyngiadau coronafeirws a ddaeth i rym ar 4 Rhagfyr.


Mae’r pecyn diweddaraf yn cynnwys Cronfa i Fusnesau dan Gyfyngiadau gwerth £160 miliwn, yn bennaf ar gyfer busnesau sy’n talu ardrethi annomestig, a chronfa grant gwerth £180 miliwn yn benodol ar gyfer busnesau yr effeithir arnynt yn y sectorau twristiaeth, hamdden a lletygarwch.  


O dan y rownd ddiweddaraf o gymorth gan Lywodraeth Cymru, gallai busnes lletygarwch arferol yng Nghymru, sy’n cyflogi staff cyfwerth â chwe swydd llawn amser, fod yn gymwys i dderbyn rhwng £12,000 a £14,000 i’w helpu yn ystod y cyfnod newydd o gyfyngiadau ac yn y Flwyddyn Newydd.


O dan y Gronfa i Fusnesau dan Gyfyngiadau gwerth £160 miliwn, bydd busnesau yr effeithir arnynt yn y sectorau lletygarwch, twristiaeth a hamdden, sectorau manwerthu a'u cadwyn gyflenwi sy’n talu ardrethi annomestig, yn gymwys i gael taliad untro rhwng £3,000 a £5,000\.


Disgwylir i fusnesau lletygarwch a dderbyniodd gyllid yn gysylltiedig ag ardrethi annomestig o dan gyfyngiadau’r cyfnod atal byr blaenorol dderbyn taliad cyn y Nadolig. Fodd bynnag, bydd rhaid i bob busnes arall gofrestru yn y Flwyddyn Newydd i dderbyn ei daliad.


Caiff cwmnïau yr effeithir arnynt, gan gynnwys y rheini nad ydynt yn talu ardrethi busnes, hefyd wneud cais am ran o’r Gronfa Benodol i’r Sector gwerth £180 miliwn. Disgwylir i’r rhan hon o’r pecyn, sy’n cael ei chyfrifo ar sail trosiant busnes a nifer ei staff, roi cymorth i hyd at 8,000 o fusnesau yn y sector yr effeithir arnynt gan y cyfyngiadau, ac o bosibl 2,000 eraill yn y cadwyni cyflenwi cysylltiedig.


Bydd gwiriwr cymhwystra newydd a chyfrifiannell yn mynd yn fyw ar wefan Busnes Cymru ar 10am dydd Gwener 11 Rhagfyr, i helpu busnesau i gyfrifo faint o gymorth y gallant ddisgwyl ei dderbyn. Hefyd bydd canllawiau ar gael i gwmnïau i’w helpu gyda’r broses o wneud cais am y Gronfa Benodol i’r Sector, a fydd yn agor yn yr wythnos sy’n dechrau ar 11 Ionawr.


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Trafnidiaeth a Gogledd Cymru, Ken Skates:



> Rydyn ni’n gwybod pa mor anodd yw’r cyfyngiadau diweddaraf ar gyfer ein busnesau lletygarwch, yn enwedig ar yr adeg hon o’r flwyddyn; ond mae’r ffaith bod nifer yr achosion o’r coronafeirws yn codi wedi ein gorfodi i wneud penderfyniadau anodd i ddiogelu iechyd pobl ac achub bywydau.  
> 
> 
> Mae’r dystiolaeth sydd ar gael, gan gynnwys papur diweddar gan Grŵp Cynghori Gwyddonol ar Argyfyngau’r DU (SAGE) yn dweud wrthon ni fod mesurau yn ardaloedd Lefel 3 yn yr Alban a Haen 3 yn Lloegr yn effeithiol wrth leihau lledaeniad y feirws. Rydyn ni wedi cyflwyno’r rownd ddiweddaraf hon o gyfyngiadau i alinio ein mesurau â Lefel 3 yn y Alban a Haen 3 yn Lloegr.
> 
> 
> Drwy’r pecyn cymorth £340 miliwn hwn rydyn ni’n gweithio i helpu busnesau yn y sector lletygarwch yn uniongyrchol, ac i roi cymorth ariannol iddynt cyn gynted ag y bo modd. Bydd llawer yn derbyn rhwng £3,000 a £5,000 cyn y Nadolig, a byddant hefyd yn gallu gwneud cais am y grant penodol i’r sector a fydd yn dilyn yn y Flwyddyn Newydd.


Dywedodd y Dirprwy Weinidog Diwylliant, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth, yr Arglwydd Elis\-Thomas:



> Rydyn ni’n llawn ymwybodol, diolch i raddau helaeth i’n grŵp rhanddeiliaid, o effeithiau’r cyfyngiadau y bu rhaid inni eu rhoi ar waith. Doedd yr un ohonon ni am weld Nadolig o’r fath, ond hoffwn i annog busnesau i fanteisio ar y cymorth sydd ar gael a defnyddio’r cyfrifiannell i cyfrifo faint y gallan nhw ddisgwyl ei dderbyn, er mwyn cynllunio’n briodol.
> 
> 
> Bydden ni’n parhau i wneud popeth yn ein gallu i gefnogi ein busnesau a’n pobl nes bod yr argyfwng ofnadwy hwn drosodd.


Mae’r cyllid diweddaraf hwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn ychwanegol at gymorth arall gan Lywodraeth y DU, fel y Cynllun Cadw Swyddi, gan ei wneud y pecyn cymorth mwyaf hael yn y DU.

Welsh Government recently announced £340 million to assist businesses affected by coronavirus restrictions which came into force on 4 December.


The latest package includes a £160 million Restrictions Business Fund predominantly for businesses paying non domestic rates, and a £180 million grant fund specifically for impacted businesses in the tourism, leisure and hospitality sectors.


Under this latest round of Welsh Government 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 to help them through this period of restrictions and into the new year.


The £160 million Restrictions Business Fund will see impacted businesses that pay non\-domestic rates within the hospitality, tourism, leisure, retail sectors and their supply chain qualifying for a one\-off payment of between £3,000 and £5,000\.


Hospitality businesses that received non\-domestic rates funding under the previous firebreak restrictions can expect this payment before Christmas. However, all other eligible businesses will need to register in the new year to receive their payment.


Impacted firms, including those not paying business rates, can also apply for a share of the £180 million Sector Specific Fund. This part of the package, which is calculated on a business’ staff count and turnover, is expected to support up to 8,000 businesses in sectors impacted by the restrictions and potentially a further 2,000 in related supply chains.


A new eligibility checker and calculator will be live on the Business Wales website from 10am on Friday 11 December to help businesses work out what support they can expect to qualify for. Guidance will also be available for firms to help them through the application process for the Sector Specific Fund which will open during the week of 11 January.


Minister for the Economy, Transport and North Wales, Ken Skates, said:



> We know how difficult the latest restrictions are for our hospitality businesses, particularly at this time of year, but accelerating coronavirus rates have meant we have had to make difficult decisions to protect people’s health and save lives.
> 
> 
> Available evidence, including a recent paper by the UK’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) tells us that measures in Scotland’s level three and England’s tier three are effective in reducing virus spread. We have introduced this latest round of restrictions to bring us in line with Scotland level three and England tier 3\.
> 
> 
> Through this £340 million package of support we are working to directly assist hospitality businesses and to get financial support to them as quickly as possible. Many will receive between £3,000 and £5,000 this side of Christmas, and in addition can apply for a sector specific grant that will follow in the New Year.


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 is not the Christmas period that any of us wanted but I would urge businesses to take advantage of the help available and to use the calculator to find out how much help they can expect to receive so they can plan accordingly.
> 
> 
> We will continue to do everything we can to support our firms and our people through to the other side of this dreadful pandemic.


This latest in Welsh Government funding is in addition to other UK Government support, such as the Job Retention Scheme, making it the most generous business support offer in the UK.
