Does the government offer assistance to start a business?

The government does offer some assistance to help people start a small business in the form of loans and grants. There are options out there provided at the national, regional and local tiers which can allow small business owners to meet their goals and improve their operations without incurring unreasonable debt. If you need funds, you must consider first what you will use the money for and how much you need so that you can find an offer that is most suitable for you. If you do not find a grant you can use, consider loans, as they have better terms than bank loans. Find out more by filling out the form on our web site or give us a call on UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
