Does the British government provide grant funding for small business needs?

The British government does make available funding for small business needs in the form of grant programmes annually. The amount and type of grants offered varies depending on the needs of society as well as the funding available for grants. Small business grants are offered for different purposes, so it is best to know what you need the money for and how much you need before you start applying for grants. There are offers that can help you buy new machinery, hire employees or train them, cover advertising costs and more. There are even some grants that can help make your company more environmentally friendly. For more information fill out the form on or web site or give us a call on UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
