Are any small business government grants are free?

Typically, government grants are free to apply for but the money they provide is not itself free because terms come attached to it. If you need a grant you must search the grants at the national tier and regional or local tiers to find one that you can use. Also check the eligibility terms, as they differ from programme to programme. Small business grants are offered for various things, such as to buy equipment, renovate space, train employees, and more. There are even grants to help start new small businesses, or to relocate them. Find out more by filling out the form on our web site or by calling us at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
