Does the United Kingdom government really give loans and grants to business owners?

The United Kingdom has grants and loans for business costs available, but they are not given out to business owners as a hand out. To get funding you must first find a suitable offer based on its eligibility requirements and other details, and then begin the application or proposal writing process. When you submit your application or proposal it will then be assessed by the committee for that offer, and you will be notified if you receive the funds or not. If you would like to get more information you can call us at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554, or alternatively contact us by filling out the form on the website.
