Are free start up business grants a fraud or an actual government financial assistance scheme?

Although there are government grants for starting a business, there is no such thing as free money from the government, so anything you see that advertises itself as free start up business grants, in those terms, is going to be a fraud. All legitimate business grants have conditions that must be adhered to, meaning the government programmes are not free. You should also avoid any service that guarantees they can get you the business funding you need. For help locating legitimate financial assistance instead of wasting time on supposed free start up business grants, call UKStartups.org at 020 3880 8554.
