Why are small business grants and funding programs so difficult to get approval for?

You may find yourself having difficulty locating and getting approved for UK Government business grants and funding for a number of reasons. The main reason for this is that all small business grants and funding programs exist in limited supply, so there are qualifying conditions attached to them that not everyone will be able to meet.

Some UK Government business grants and funding that you may find difficult to get approval for could be very easy for another small business owner to qualify for. This could be because of any number of differentiating factors, the elements that make your small business unique will qualify you for certain programs while disqualifying you from others.
