Is there a unified small business grant application I can fill out for free?

There is no unified application for all small business grant programmes, for free or otherwise. This is because each grant requires you must write a proposal to the individual grant programme you are interested in. The proposal should tell more about yourself and your small business, and regional how the money would help you, what you want to spend it on, and your long term plans. It is important to show enthusiasm and competence in your proposal, as the best proposal is selected from all of the applicants, and the writer of one or more proposal is awarded the grant. To learn about how to write a proposal and apply for grants, fill out the form on our website. You may also call us on UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
