Where can I find the money the UK is giving to business owners?

Asking where to ‘find the money UK is giving to business owners’ is an odd question. To us, it sounds like you believe that UK Government money is freely available to just anyone who wants it — that every small business owners who wants financial assistance has some set aside on their behalf , they simply have to figure out how to access it. This simply is not so.

If you want to find money through the UK Government then you are first going to have to understand that not all small business owners are going to be approved for UK Government business funding because not all are going to qualify for the various financial assistance programs being offered. There is an eligibility and approval process that has been put in place to ensure the most deserving, most likely to succeed recipients will get the business financing they need.

None of the process of applying for funding is guaranteed, no one has money set aside for them to access, and the UK Government will not seek you out. You have to apply for funding on your own and hope you are approved.
