What are governement grants?

Governement grants in the United Kingdom are financial assistance programmes offered by the national, regional and local ranks of government for specific purposes. They are usually free to apply for and do not require repayment, but they have their own prerequisite conditions that must be met, and their own intended uses also. If you are interested in a grant, first you should determine what you need the money for and how much you need in order to find an offer you can use. Then you will need to write a proposal to apply. If your proposal is chosen as the winner from the pool of applicants, you will be awarded the grant. Learn more by filling out the form on our website or call us at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
