If I own a retail store, how do I go about applying for a government grant?

Applying for a United Kingdom small business government grant is the same for owners of a retail small business as it is for just about anyone else. However, the nature of your small business and the purpose to which you wish to put the funds will likely affect which grant programmes you are eligible for and which prerequisites you fulfil. A retail small business applying for a government grant may, for example, need money to expand or move its facilities, purchase new equipment, or affect repairs for reasons not covered by insurance.
