What basic information do I need to know about UK government grants in order to apply?

One of the more basic things to keep in mind before applying for UK government grants is that you need to be aware that all grants are different. The money they provide varies due to factors such as purpose and eligibility. Also, you need to know that the grant you are eligible for depends entirely on your small business and circumstances. Government grant programmes can be a complex web of information and criteria. As such, it is important for you to do the appropriate research.
