Are government small business grant applications free to complete and file?

In most instances, you’ll find grant applications free up your money by other expenses by not costing anything to submit, although some financial assistance programmes do have processing fees applied. Because grants are often designed to help individuals who need money the most, applying even a nominal fee would border on being counterproductive. However, if a grant writer fills out your application for you, they may demand a fee. Note that this has nothing to do with the application and is an agreement between you and the Startup Assessment Tool. If you have further questions, please ring us up at 020 3880 8554 to speak with a representative, or you can submit the information request form on our website.
