What ways are there in the UK to finance an United Kingdom business?

In the United Kingdom there are more ways to finance a business than the bank. This is because there are UK grants and loans from the government available that may be able to help. These choices are offered annually, but they change each year to best accommodate the needs of the people at the time, and in response to the amount of funding available for the purpose from the federal government. To find a grant that you can use you will need to first look at your business plan or budget. This is because grants have their own purposes for which they need to be used. For help along the way, complete the form on the website or call us at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
