I have been retired for over a year can I still get grant funding if I am interested in starting a new business?

If you are thinking of coming out of retirement to start your own business then it is very possible that you will be eligible for some forms of government funding. However, you should note that starting your own business will mean giving up whatever financial benefits you are currently receiving now that you are retired. You should also be sure that you are able to sustain yourself while you are trying to get your business up and running. However if after considering all of the above you still feel that starting your own business is right for you then visit the UKStartups.org website and try our Startup Assessment Tool or call us toll free at 020 3880 8554
