Will a local council in the UK provide government grants small businesses can try applying for?

Grants from a local council are typically awarded to local city and town councils to help pay for any number of projects, with the funds coming from the national or regional governments. Like most other grants, many of these council grants do require that applications be submitted for approval, meaning that some local government councils go without funding they may qualify for, and some grants go unclaimed. UKStartups.org’s resources such as the Startup Assessment Tool can still help you determine which grants are the most useful for your needs, and how to apply for them.
