What national government grants for businesses are free?

National government grants for small businesses are free to apply for, as are regional and local grants. If you need money to help run your small business or make improvements, a grant may be for you. Be sure to check the programmes’ eligibility conditions and intended uses before making up your mind on writing a proposal to any one programme. The proposal should show your long term small business plans and what you will use the funds for, and demonstrate how a grant would be helpful to you. Find out more by filling out our web site’s email contact form or by giving us a call on UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
