Are government grants the only government assistance programmes available?

Government grants are not the only government assistance programmes currently available in the UK. Government grants are lump sums of money offered for specific purposes that people can apply for by writing a proposal to the programme they are interested in. The eligibility terms differ from grant to grant as do the intended uses for the money. Many people have been able to benefit from grants to help them pay for costs of their education or to help with their small businesses. There are other government assistance programmes. These may include loans or scholarships. To learn more fill out the form on our website. You may also call us on UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
