This is a difficult time for everyone and we want to support local businesses as much as possible.
In partnership with Business Lincolnshire we are offering advice and guidance to businesses. This includes advice on the financial support available, and advice on social distancing practices, and continuing to operate to government guidelines.
Visit the Business Lincolnshire website for more details or to submit your enquiries.
You can also download the COVID toolkit to help you, your staff, and your customers.
