A little about government funding programmes

If you are looking for government funding, or any type of government grants, loans, or other options to startup or expand a Beauty Franchise Business in the UK, it’s important to know the basics of funding in general.

Government funding comes in many different forms. These options can include government grants, which can be one-time non-repayable, act as partial contributions, or be renewable. Alternative to government grants, government loans can be very effective in finding your small business, quickly. These funds, be it a grant, a government loan, or a tax credit are government incentives to help you with your small business. Each funding programme offered by the British government will have different criteria or rules, so the best thing to do is to speak to a government funding expert to get help with finding funding for your small business.

Using government funding for your Beauty Franchise Business

While there are many government funding programmes available for small business owners across the UK. Your business has to be eligible for them before you can plan on spending the money. As a Beauty Franchise Business, you may have a number of startup or expansion expenses you want to have covered via government funds, so it is crucial that you understand what you can use the funds for before you apply. Speak to a funding expert to better understand how to use the funds and what you can use the funds for.

As a small business in the UK, the below are some of the business activities which you may be able to obtain funding for (including grants, government loans, tax breaks/credits..etc)

Some of the more common funding requirements that business owners try and take advantage of, including those starting a Beauty Franchise Business business include: to cover business development costs, to provide staff with training, to assist with financial services, to pay for consulting services, and to assist with trade shows, exploration or evaluation.

If you are unsure of what you need for your small business just yet, speaking with a funding expert or a business consultant will help narrow down the needs. Speak to an expert now.

How much can you get in government funding?

Each business has different funding requirements. There is often no set amount as to how much it will cost you to startup, expand, or to operate your Beauty Franchise Business.

While it’s easy to say, “I need £50,000 to start my Beauty Franchise Business”, or “I need £500,000”; the process to determine your needs in detail should come first. This often requires a proper business plan to be done to help you determine your goals as well as your needs – in order to help you understand how much in government funding you need.

Each government funding agency has the amounts that they are comfortable providing business owners. These amounts vary and depend on a number of factors.

These factors can include the specific business you are in (the industry), your location, what you need funding for, how much you need, when you need it by, how effective your business plan is, your financial, in certain cases your credit score and more. These factors are used to determine quite a lot, and how much you may be eligible for.

As a Beauty Franchise Business and based on the funding needs mentioned above (not taking into consideration other factors), others in the same industry have been successful at obtaining between as little as £25,000 and as much as £500,000. This does not reflect how much you would be able to obtain but gives you an idea of the ranges. To determine if you are eligible for any funding, you can speak to a funding expert now.

As a Beauty Franchise Business, what is needed to apply for government funding?

When you are ready to apply for funding for your small business, be it a Beauty Franchise Business, or any type of business, it’s important to understand that each funding program has its own criteria which you must follow.

Since each grant, loan, and funding programme is different in what they require of you as an applicant, it is important to read the qualification, criteria, and requirements being asked. You can speak to a funding expert to get a better understanding of this and what is specifically needed in your case.

If you are ready, you can speak to a funding expert now.

Generally speaking, the must-haves before you apply to any government funding programme includes:

A solid business plan
3 year financials (current financials or projections)
PitchDeck presentation (not mandatory but helpful)
Completed and confirmed funding application

In addition to these 4 critical must-haves, you will have to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria which can often ask that you are in the correct industry, location, have the right funding needs, that you apply on time (pre-deadline)..etc

Each of the general requirements is something you should have ready before you decide to apply.

Your business plan should be detailed and should explain your Beauty Franchise Business in detail, along with a breakdown of any and all funding needs.
The financials for your Beauty Franchise Business should be clear and growth year over year should be shown.
Your PitchDeck presentation if you decide to do one for your Beauty Franchise Business should be no more than 15 slides and should be visually appealing and match the points covered in your business plan.
