The Government of Guyana is working to ensure that Small businesses benefit from COVID-19 relief grants through the Small Business Bureau.

The grant funding is specific to businesses registered under the Small Business Bureau. The application can be completed online and is being conducted on a first-come, first-served basis. Priority will be given to essential businesses that have been affected by COVID-19 (such as establishments involved in food production and supplying healthcare items).

The relief is a grant and not a loan, as such, businesses will not have to repay.
