What is government grant fraud?

Government grant fraud can come in more than one form, but typically involves someone applying for a government grant under false pretences or outright lying on their application. It is also possible a company will take money from prospective applicants by making false claims about its ability to help people gain access to government grants. There are eligibility conditions and intended uses for legitimate government grants. So, note these when researching grants you want to apply to for your small business so as to not waste your time or end up caught within the web of a fraud company.
