Phase two of the Business Recovery Grant program is going strong, with more than 7,000 applications submitted so far. The application period is open until June 1.

Phase 2 of the Business Recovery Grant (BRG) program begins on Monday, May 2. Many additional businesses now qualify for these grants due to updates to the program’s eligibility criteria. BRG will issue a payment to an eligible North Carolina business that suffered an economic loss of at least 20 percent during the pandemic. The grant amount is a percentage of the economic loss demonstrated by the eligible business or $500,000, whichever is less. The application deadline is Wednesday, June 1.

Taxpayers can learn about the expanded eligibility for recovery grant money and much more at the N.C. Department of Revenue (NCDOR) webinar on Phase 2 of the Business Recovery Grant (BRG) program on Wednesday, May 4. The session will begin at 11 a.m.
