Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething, y byddai £120 miliwn ar gael ar gyfer busnesau yr effeithir arnynt gan y symud i Lefel Rhybudd 2 a gyhoeddwyd gan y Prif Weinidog ar ddydd Mercher 22 Rhagfyr. Mae’n cynnwys busnesau manwerthu, lletygarwch, hamdden a thwristiaeth, ynghyd â’r cadwyni cyflenwi cysylltiedig.


Gall busnesau cymwys wneud cais am grantiau rhwng £2,500 a £25,000, gyda grantiau'n dibynnu ar faint y busnes a nifer y gweithwyr.


Bydd y cyfnod ymgeisio ar agor am bythefnos, gyda thaliadau'n dechrau cyrraedd busnesau o fewn dyddiau.


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething:



> "Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gwneud popeth yn ei gallu i gefnogi busnesau ledled Cymru ers dechrau’r pandemig, ac rydyn ni’n parhau i weithredu i sicrhau bod anghenion yn cael eu diwallu.
> 
> 
> "Yn dilyn trafodaethau cadarnhaol â busnesau, undebau llafur a phartneriaid eraill, newidiwyd y meini prawf cymhwysedd ar gyfer cymorth gan y gronfa hon yn ddiweddar. Mae grant y Gronfa Cadernid Economaidd yn gwneud taliad ychwanegol, sydd ar gael yng Nghymru yn unig, i gefnogi busnesau cymwys mae eu hincwm wedi gollwng 60% rhwng mis Rhagfyr a mis Chwefror o gymharu â’r un cyfnod ddwy flynedd yn ôl. Mae’r meini prawf newydd yn golygu bellach y bydd busnesau yn y sectorau hyn mae eu trosiant wedi gollwng 50% hefyd yn gallu cael mynediad at y Gronfa Cadernid Economaidd.
> 
> 
> "Mae hyn yn golygu y bydd rhagor o fusnesau yn cael rhagor o gymorth gan Lywodraeth Cymru.


Gall busnesau manwerthu, lletygarwch, hamdden a thwristiaeth nad ydynt yn hanfodol yng Nghymru hefyd gael cymorth gan y grant sy’n gysylltiedig ag Ardrethi Annomestig, sy'n cael ei weinyddu gan awdurdodau lleol. Bydd gan fusnesau hawl i gael taliad o £2,000, £4,000 neu £6,000 yn dibynnu ar eu gwerth ardrethol.


Mae awdurdodau lleol hefyd yn gweinyddu cronfa ddewisol ar gyfer unig fasnachwyr, gweithwyr llawrydd a gyrwyr tacsis a busnesau sy'n cyflogi pobl ond nad ydynt yn talu ardrethi busnes. Yr wythnos diwethaf cafodd y cymorth hwn ei ddyblu i £1,000\.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi darparu dros £2\.5 biliwn o gyllid ar gyfer busnesau Cymru ers dechrau'r pandemig. Gan ganolbwyntio'n benodol ar gefnogi busnesau bach a chymunedau yng Nghymru, mae wedi cael ei weinyddu mewn ffordd dargedig helpu i ddiogelu dros 160,000 o swyddi yng Nghymru a allai fod wedi cael eu colli fel arall.

Economy Minister Vaughan Gething previously said £120 million would be available for retail, hospitality, leisure and tourism business and their supply chains affected by the move to alert level 2 announced by the First Minister on Wednesday 22 December.


Eligible businesses can apply for grants of between £2,500 to £25,000, with grants dependent on their size and number of employees.


The application window will be open for two weeks, with payments starting to reach businesses within days.


Economy Minister, Vaughan Gething, said:



> "This Welsh Government has pulled every lever possible to support businesses across Wales since the pandemic hit, and we continue to act to ensure needs are met.
> 
> 
> “Following positive engagement with businesses, trades unions and other partners, we recently changed the eligibility criteria for the ERF support. The ERF grant is a Wales\-only top up payment that currently supports eligible businesses who have seen a 60% drop in their income between December and February compared with the same period two years ago. The new criteria means that businesses in these sectors who have seen a 50% reduction in their turnover will now also be able to access the ERF.
> 
> 
> “This means more businesses will receive more support from the Welsh Government.


Non\-essential retail, hospitality, leisure and tourism businesses in Wales can also receive support from the Non Domestic Rates (NDR) linked grant which is being administered by local authorities. Businesses will be entitled to a payment of £2,000, £4,000 or £6,000 depending on their rateable value.


Local authorities are also administrating a discretionary fund for sole traders, freelancers and taxi drivers and businesses that employ people but do not pay business rates. Last week this was doubled to £1,000\.


The Welsh Government has provided in excess of £2\.5 billion funding to Welsh businesses since the start of the pandemic. Focused particularly on backing small businesses and Welsh communities, it’s targeted approach has helped protect in excess of 160,000 Welsh jobs which might otherwise have been lost.
