Where can I get assistance in setting up a business?

The government may be able to give you assistance in setting up a small business if you are looking for financial help. There are loans and grants for new small business owners and entrepreneurs which can help cover start up costs and pay for things like advertising and employee training. If you have a small business plan and budget to guide you, you should be able to determine what you may need money for and how much you need. Once you know this you can search for funding options that may be able to help you, and use their prerequisite conditions to further narrow down your search. For help along the way or more information, fill out our web site’s email contact form. You may also call us on UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
