Is it difficult to qualify for free business grants from the national government?

Grants provided to eligible applicants by the UK national government are issued for specific reasons, and you will need to ensure that you and your small business meet grants programme’s eligibility conditions. However, keep in mind such grants are not actually free. If you examine the terms of the grants closely, then you can focus your application efforts on grants particularly suited to your small business. If you require it, you can reference our loan and Startup Assessment Tool to learn more about the available grants. Once the terms are met, however, you will still need to submit an application for approval. For assistance with this step or further information, you can ring us up at 020 3880 8554. You may also submit our information request form for more information.
