After a month of closure, non-essential businesses will be able to reopen around December 1.

In the meantime, traders can apply to benefit from the reactivation of the solidarity fund.

Europe 1 guides you through this process. 

Emmanuel Macron will speak on Tuesday evening at 8 p.m. to specify the relaxation of future health measures.

Regarding non-essential businesses, they will reopen around December 1, after a month of closed curtains.

No date has been communicated, for the moment, about the reopening of the bars.

In any case, it won't be before mid-January.

To support all these traders impacted by the coronavirus crisis, the government announced a strengthening of the solidarity fund up to 10,000 euros per month.

The software is now in place.

Traders who wish to make their request can therefore do so.

The approach is the same as that implemented during the first confinement, during which the solidarity fund amounted to 1,500 euros.

This time, for this reconfinement, the upload took a little longer because the new aids had to be added. 

Aid calculated according to the loss of turnover

How to benefit from this financial support?

Remember that if you make the request in November, it will take into account the month of October.

Indeed, there is a one-month lag since the aid depends on the loss of monthly turnover.

For the month of November, this approach therefore concerns restaurants in particular because they have been greatly weakened by the curfew.

For all businesses that were forced to close in November, aid requests can be made in early December.

This may seem long, but the General Directorate of Finance ensures that once the request is made, the allocated amounts are paid within 48 hours.

In addition, bars and restaurants which will have to remain closed longer will be entitled to new specific aid for the future.

It would no longer be a solidarity fund capped at 10,000 euros but an aid based on the percentage of turnover lost.

Details are expected this week on this subject.
