Will the Scotland government make available grants suitable for helping my first small business there?

Government grants are offered in Scotland and may be able to help you with your first small business. However, they are only given to the approved proposal writer for each group of applicants. 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 conditions that you meet also.
