How can someone be sure the grants programmes to be found are from the government of the United Kingdom and are meant for small business use and not a fraud?

If you are worried the grants for small business that you have heard about being offered by the government of the United Kingdom may be part of a fraud, keep in mind any grants programme will be offered by a government of the United Kingdom agency or department, so you can verify the existence of such grants by going directly to the government site to see what manner of information is available. Even if the grants are verified, avoid applying through anyone else as such a third party could be a fraud, as only the government of the United Kingdom department in charge of the small business grants can accept applications. You can avail yourself of UKStartups research into legitimate small business grants from the government of the United Kingdom by contacting us freephone at 020 3880 8554 or by submitting our site’s online contact form.
