How can government grants help me get my first business under way in Scotland?

Government grants are offered in Scotland and may be able to help you with your first small business. However, they are only given to someone after an approved proposal is considered and approved. This means that you should have a backup plan for financing your small business needs, and do not count on any one particular grant to provide the funding you are looking for. Have a small business plan and a budget in place before you begin your search, as these things will allow you to see what you need money for and how much you need. Then you can find a grant that has intended uses that fit with your needs, and possibly one with eligibility terms that you meet also. To acquire additional information, fill in our web site’s form. Alternatively, give ring us at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
