Can I get free money right now from the South East regional government for my small business?

The time needed to apply and be approved for a grant, which many people mistakenly refer to as free money, varies. As such, even if you applied now you may not receive any money immediately. Now, it is important to not lose sight of other potential values free money grants can have for an eligible small business beyond buying equipment. These may include helping with training expenses, paying for research and development, or production prototypes.
