Is a government grant usable for a small business investment?

Whether a government grant can be used for a business investment depends on the grant programme and the type of investment. Most government grants are pretty clear in that once you meet the conditions for receiving the money, you do not have to repay it. However, since some grants have very clear restrictions, you may be required to submit a follow up report to prove that you used the grant for what it was intended. That said, since many grants have been issued for small business reasons, using one for investment may fall well into the purview of a grant. To learn more about the available grants and their restrictions, you can study them with our Startup Assessment Tool.
