How much stock should I put within the free government grant guides and directories I have found online?

Although you may certainly find some good advice or be pointed within the right direction by the free government grant guides and directories you come across online, in general you get what you pay for. Unless these services are offered by the government themselves, you cannot be sure there is an incentive to keep the directories up to date and you cannot verify the experience outlined within the guide. Even those guides and directories provided by the government are limited because they only discuss the free government grant programmes provided by that specific department or agency. For a more comprehensive look at the overall free government grant small business funding programmes, give UKStartups.org a call on 020 3880 8554.
