Are Scotland government small business grants free to apply for?

Most grants for small businesses in Scotland are free to apply for, but the funding is not handed out for free despite the common misperception that grants off free money. Each applicant must meet the eligibility terms, and if awarded the funding, must comply with the intended uses. The grants require proposals to apply for them, which should include things like what you will use the funding for, how the grant will help you, more about yourself and your small business, and your future plans. For more information or assistance, fill out our web site’s email contact form or give us a call on UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
