Does the government give start up grants to business owners in Scotland?

Scotland does have its own set of government grants for business start up costs each year, but there are no grants which are simply given out to business owners or others. There is no promise that you will be awarded funds when you apply for a grant, but to have a chance you need to write a proposal to the grant that interests you to apply. Include information about your company and goals as well as about how the funding from the grant will be used and how it will help. Present your business in a way that will show how you are a good match for the offer for best results. Learn more about how to write a proposal by contacting us on the phone, 020 3880 8554, at UKStartups.org, or if you prefer you may fill out the form on our website.
