Which government grant programmes are for start up businesses?

Any government small business grant programme, be it from the or any other regional government body, will indicate on its respective web site or otherwise provided literature whether or not its funds may be used by start up small businesses. Start up small businesses may also be eligible for government grants that are intended for general applicant use, meaning they are not tied to either established or start up small business use, and thus may be applied to either so long as the applicant is otherwise eligible and approved. Give UKStartups.org a call on 020 3880 8554 or get in touch with us through our web site form if you want more information.
