Cyhoeddodd Gweinidog yr Economi Ken Skates agor y Gronfa Rhwystrau i Ddechrau Busnes gwerth £1.2m, sy'n rhan allweddol o ymrwymiad Llywodraeth Cymru i gefnogi unigolion y mae pandemig y coronafeirws wedi effeithio’n andwyol arnynt. Er bod y rhaglen ar gael i bob person di-waith sy'n awyddus i ddechrau eu busnes eu hunain, eglurodd fod Llywodraeth Cymru yn bwriadu dyrannu mwy na hanner y cymorth i bobl ifanc nad ydynt mewn addysg a hyfforddiant, pobl anabl, y rhai o gefndiroedd BAME a darpar entrepreneuriaid benywaidd gan mai dyma’r grwpiau y mae disgwyl i’r pandemig effeithio arnynt fwyaf.
Economy Minister Ken Skates announced the opening of the £1.2m business start-up Barriers Fund, which is a key part of the Welsh Government’s commitment to supporting individuals that have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. He explained that while the programme is open to all unemployed people looking to start their own business, the Welsh Government plans to allocate more than half of the support to young people not in education and training, disabled people, those from BAME backgrounds and budding female entrepreneurs as these are groups expected to be hardest hit by the pandemic  .
