Are government grants available for starting a small business for free?

Available government grants for starting a small business are typically free to apply for, as are most government grants. This does not mean that you are guaranteed to get funds if you apply for a grant, because only the person who writes one or more proposal will receive grant money. You must carefully design a proposal telling what you will do with the money and your future small business plans in order to apply. Also check the eligibility conditions for the grants you are interested in, as they are different for each programme. Find out more by filling out our web site’s email contact form or by calling us at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
