Are grants in Scotland free?

Grants are available in Scotland, but are not given out for free. To be awarded a grant, first you must select a grant that you can use based on its qualification requirements and intended uses, and then you must write a proposal to apply. You will need to have your business plan and budget ready to do this if you are seeking a business grant. The proposal should tell why the grant will help you, what you need the money for, and what your goals are for the future. To get assistance applying for grants, give us a call, 020 3880 8554, or fill out the form online to contact us at UKStartups.org.
