Do government grants help first time business owners pay start up costs of opening a business in the North West?

North West regional first time business owners can use government grants for their costs in some cases. However, the grants for new small business may be less prevalent than those for existing business. So, check the regional and national tiers as well if you do not find something in the North West that meets your wants. Always consult your budget and business plan first and narrow down the grants based on their intended uses and how they match up to your wants. It helps to note the eligibility qualifications first.
