Does the national government actually provide free small business grants?

UK national government small business grants for small business are a type of government grants provided for small business needs, but they are not free even though most government grants are free to apply for. There are also grants provided at the regional and local tiers, and there are grants for housing, education, and community projects, in addition to small business grants. If you need money for your small business, you should look for grants at the other tiers as well as the national tiers. Be sure to check the eligibility terms of the programmes you are interested in because they are different for each grant.
