Is there any free information on how to go about obtaining small business grants?

You should get all the free information on obtaining small business grants you can before pursuing any specific programmes. For each particular grant you will want to check the prerequisite terms, the amount of money offered, the intended uses of the money, and the groups of people it is open to. Some grants are only open to women, seniors, minorities, or some other group, which is advantageous if you fit into one of these categories, as there is less competition for these grants. Then you will need to write proposals to the grant programmes you want to apply for once you find the best ones, and will most likely need more information about proposal writing also. You can find all the information you need by filling out the form on our website. You may also try calling us at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
