Are United Kingdom government grant programmes free?

Each government grant in the United Kingdom is free to apply for, but the grants are not free hand outs. To get grant money, first you must find a choice that you are eligible for, and that has intended uses which are consistent with your own needs. Then you must apply for the funding and compose your proposal. After these items are submitted they will be reviewed by a grant committee and then the funding will be awarded to one or a few of the applicants. Learn more about how to find a grant you can use by filling out the form on our website or call us here at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
