Coronavirus #79 – help for entrepreneurs

Until the end of June, symbolic rent in communal premises and as much as 90% discounts on gastronomy gardens - these are other elements that will be included in the local support package for the Szczecin business.

 

- We have a solution that will help many people. This is a preliminary plan to recover from this dormant economy. We are preparing the necessary procedures that will be greatly simplified so that entrepreneurs can make up at least some of the losses caused by the coronavirus - says Piotr Krzystek, Mayor of Szczecin

The decisions were based on the proposals submitted by the crisis expert team. It includes recognized economists, practitioners, entrepreneurs and scientists of the Szczecin market. According to the recommendations, in business premises of entrepreneurs of all industries closed during the pandemic, from mid-March to the end of June, a rent rate of 1 zlotych per m2 applies. However, this is not all, because in July and August restaurateurs will pay half of their usual rent. Any discounts, cancellation or distribution of payments into installments for companies from other industries will be considered individually.

Moreover, entrepreneurs who run gastronomic gardens will receive a 90% discount for this purpose. As far as possible, the area in which such activities may be carried out will also be increased (this includes, among others, area around the Avenue of Fountains).
