How can I spot fraud regarding UK government small business grants?

If you want to spot fraud pertaining to UK government grants for small business use, look for companies offering to apply for grants for you while offering a guarantee of funding. No third party is able to influence a government agency into granting you funding, so any such promise is hollow and empty. Each government grant is different, both in terms of what they are intended to be in aid of and with regards to their prerequisites, as are applicants. So, obviously a company that is guaranteeing your small business government grants money without first finding out this information for you must be a fraud. Instead of using such a broker, utilize the UKStartups.org website’s form to let us know when to contact you. Alternatively, call a representative of UKStartups.org by dialling, freephone, 020 3880 8554 in order to get information that will provide you the resources you need to confidently apply for grants on your own.
