Where does the government funding for small business assistance programmes come from?

The government funding for all loan and grant programmes comes from their respective annual budgets, where money is set aside to be given as financial assistance to those who are deserving and could be helped by the money. The funds are allocated into specific loan and grant programmes depending on what industries seem to need the most help at the time, and then people are allowed to start applying for them. Find out more about government loans and grants by filling out the form on our website. You may also try calling us at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
