How much money can I get from the government to start a business?

There is not a set amount of government money that you can get when you want to start a business. That being said, there is not any guarantee that you will get any money just for starting a business. There are grants and loans for business needs but they are not hand outs. Each applicant is judged by a committee who decides which people will receive the funds and which will not. Make sure you apply for a grant or a loan whose eligibility requirements and other details are well suited to your needs for best results. When you need more information, complete the form on our website or give us a call at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
