Bydd grantiau rhwng £5,000 a £10,000 ar gael i fusnesau cymwys yn y sectorau manwerthu, lletygarwch a hamdden.

Bydd Cronfa Paratoi at y Dyfodol, sy'n gronfa gwerth £20 miliwn, yn helpu busnesau i gryfhau eu sefyllfa fasnachu yn y dyfodol. A hynny trwy gynyddu proffidioldeb wrth fuddsoddi mewn technoleg ynni adnewyddadwy, gwelliannau i adeiladwaith eu hadeiladau, ac uwchraddio systemau neu beiriannau i leihau'r defnydd o ynni.

Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething: 


> Mae'r argyfyngau parhaus o ran costau byw a chostau gweithredu yn parhau i beri anawsterau i fusnesau ledled Cymru.
> 
> Bydd y grantiau hyn yn helpu busnesau micro, bach a chanolig o'r sectorau manwerthu, lletygarwch a hamdden i wneud rhai newidiadau sylweddol yn y ffordd y maent yn gweithredu fel y gallant addasu ar gyfer y dyfodol.

Dywedodd Y Gweinidog Cyllid, Rebecca Evans: 


> Mewn cyfnodau o galedi, *rydym eisiau helpu busnesau i leihau eu biliau. Bydd y gronfa newydd hon yn helpu i leihau costau rhedeg gan roi cymorth ymarferol sy’n cynorthwyo cynllunio busnes yn yr hirdymor.”*
> 
> *Rydym hefyd am y bumed flwyddyn o'r bron wedi helpu busnesau manwerthu, hamdden a lletygarwch â'u biliau ardrethi busnes, am gost o £78 miliwn. Mae hyn yn ychwanegol at y bron i £1 biliwn o gymorth a ddarparwyd eisoes gan gynlluniau rhyddhad ardrethi i'r sectorau hyn ers 2020\-21\.*

Bydd y grantiau'n cael eu talu hyd at 75 y cant o gostau'r prosiect neu £10,000, pa un bynnag yw'r swm lleiaf.  Disgwylir i'r busnes gyfrannu'r 25 y cant o'r costau sy'n weddill o ffynonellau eraill.

Mae'r gronfa ar agor i fusnesau yng Nghymru (naill ai sydd â'u pencadlys yng Nghymru neu sydd â chyfeiriad gweithredol yno) ac sy'n cyflogi pobl yng Nghymru.

Bydd gwiriwr cymhwysedd yn agor ganol mis Ebrill 2024 a bydd ceisiadau'n agor ym mis Mai 2024\.

Grants of between £5,000 and £10,000 will be available to eligible businesses in the retail, hospitality, and leisure sectors.

The £20 million Future Proofing Fund will help businesses strengthen their future trading position by increasing profitability through investment in renewable energy technology, improvements to the fabric of their premises, and upgrades to systems or machinery to reduce energy use.

Economy Minister Vaughan Gething said: 


> “The ongoing cost\-of\-living and cost\-of\-doing\-business crises continues to present difficulties to businesses across Wales.
> 
> “These grants will help micro, small and medium sized businesses from the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors to make some significant changes in the way they run their operations so they can adapt for the future.”

Finance Minister Rebecca Evans said: 


> “In tough times, we want to help businesses get their bills down for good. This new fund will help reduce running costs with practical support that aids long term business planning.
> 
> “We are also providing a fifth successive year of support for retail, leisure and hospitality businesses with their rates bills, at a cost of £78 million. This builds on the almost £1 billion of support provided in rates relief schemes to these sectors since 2020\-21\.”

The grants will be paid up to 75 per cent of project costs or £10,000, whichever is the lesser amount. It is expected that the business will contribute the remaining 25 per cent from other sources.

The fund is open to businesses located in Wales (either headquartered or have an operating address in Wales) and which employ people in Wales.

An eligibility checker will open in mid\-April 2024 and applications will open in May 2024\.
