Who can get a British government grant for starting a business?

As with most any British government grant, part of the prerequisite process is providing a proposal that illustrates why your small business plan is viable, and thus can legitimately benefit from government funding for starting up. If your small business will be starting out in a highly competitive industry, your proposal had better carefully consider what will set it apart enough to gain a foothold against the competition and eventually become profitable, otherwise it is quite possible your application may be denied for being too risky a venture.
