Does the United Kingdom government provide grants to those who are starting a business?

The government does not provide grants to all people in the United Kingdom who are starting a business. There are grants and loans for new business owners and many offered in each region as well which new business owners may compete for. It is wise to have a back up plan if this is something that you are considering doing, since you may not get the funding that you were looking for at first. UKStartups.org may be able to assist you with evaluating your options about applying for grants for your new company.
