Is free money available in the form of British government grants?

British government grants are not simply free money as many mistakenly believe. The grants are free to apply for, but they are not given away to anyone who applies. To get a grant you must meet the eligibility conditions for the programme and write one or more proposal. Proposals should include why you need the money, what you will spend it on, how it will help you, and your long term small business plans. If you are awarded the money you will not need to pay it back, but you will need to spend it in accordance with the rules of the grant programme.
