A little about government funding programmes

If you are looking for government funding, or any type of government grants, loans, or other options to startup or expand a Boat Charter Business in the UK, it’s important to know the basics of funding in general.

There are various government funding programme types. All of the government funding programmes come from the various levels of the British government. This can include programmes from your local area, your regional, or from the national government directly. Any funds that are provided to small business owners will come from a specific fund called a "funding type". The funding types are often made up of government grants, which are usually non-repayable options but can also be partial conurbations or renewable options. The others can include government loans, which can be low-interest options, no interest, or government guaranteed. The last option can come in the form of a government tax break or credit, much like the one for personal taxes, for various incentives. As a business owner in the UK, knowing what you may be eligible for might not be as simple - as the funds are provided by the various agencies, there are hundreds of programmes to go through. The best thing to do is to speak to a government funding expert to get help with finding funding for your small business.

Using government funding for your Boat Charter Business

While there are many government funding programmes available for small business owners across the UK. Your business has to be eligible for them before you can plan on spending the money. As a Boat Charter Business, you may have a number of startup or expansion expenses you want to have covered via government funds, so it is crucial that you understand what you can use the funds for before you apply. Speak to a funding expert to better understand how to use the funds and what you can use the funds for.

How much can you get in government funding?

Each business has different funding requirements. There is often no set amount as to how much it will cost you to startup, expand, or to operate your Boat Charter Business.

While it’s easy to say, “I need £50,000 to start my Boat Charter Business”, or “I need £500,000”; the process to determine your needs in detail should come first. This often requires a proper business plan to be done to help you determine your goals as well as your needs – in order to help you understand how much in government funding you need.

Each government funding agency has the amounts that they are comfortable providing business owners. These amounts vary and depend on a number of factors.

These factors can include the specific business you are in (the industry), your location, what you need funding for, how much you need, when you need it by, how effective your business plan is, your financial, in certain cases your credit score and more. These factors are used to determine quite a lot, and how much you may be eligible for.

As a Boat Charter Business and based on the funding needs mentioned above (not taking into consideration other factors), others in the same industry have been successful at obtaining between as little as £25,000 and as much as £500,000. This does not reflect how much you would be able to obtain but gives you an idea of the ranges. To determine if you are eligible for any funding, you can speak to a funding expert now.

As a Boat Charter Business, what is needed to apply for government funding?

When you are ready to apply for funding for your small business, be it a Boat Charter Business, or any type of business, it’s important to understand that each funding program has its own criteria which you must follow.
