Is it fraud to apply for Edinburgh business grants if I live in Shropshire?

If you live in Shropshire you cannot apply for Edinburgh business grants. This is because they are only for people in the local area and that would constitute fraud. Any misrepresentation of facts in order to apply for a grant or a loan, even if you are not awarded the funds, is fraudulent. Be sure to have an accurate portrayal of your business and situation in your business grant and proposal when seeking a grant from the government.
