Can United Kingdom government grants be used for buying an existing business?

Not all United Kingdom government grants are usable for buying an existing business. However, some may be if you are eligible and can illustrate why it is in the United Kingdom’s interest to give you the grants buying a business would require you to receive. One of the biggest detriments to successful application for grants for buying a business is improper or insufficient preparation leading to applying for United Kingdom grants the applicant is not actually eligible for or is unlikely to be approved for.
