How can someone find out if their small business is qualified for government grants?

The various government grants funding programmes each have different programmes, typically defined in whole or in part by the intention under which their funds are meant to be provided. You will need to cross-reference your small business circumstances against each programmes conditions to see if your venture is suitable for any of them. This can take a lot of time, as the government does not collect all this information in one place, so you may find it easier to talk with a professional representative who can help you determine your eligibility and offer assistance and advice with your application. UKStartups.org has an online quick request form or phone number you can call, at 020 3880 8554, for a talk with one of our agents.
