I need a grant to start a small business, where can I look?

The government offers grant programmes that may be able to help you start a small business. There are funding options from the government provided at the national, regional and local ranks. So, be sure to look at all of these so you do not overlook any funding programmes you could use. The grants all have their own prerequisite conditions, as well as intended uses. So, make note of these things when you are deciding which grants you may be able to use. You must have an idea of how much money you need and what you want to use it for before you begin your search, or else you will not be able to tell which grants are best for you.
