Does the government provide any grants a small business can use to purchase the new machines it needs?

If a small business needs new machines to undertake operations, there may be government grants to help out. Just what sort of programme is up for grabs will depend on the nature of the machines. More programmes are likely to have the money available if you are thinking of office computers or the like, whereas highly specialized, expensive machines will find there is a much shorter list of funds that are likely to be able to help out. Someone with a new business somewhere in the country and with a need for grants to purchase necessary machines may have a hard time finding the information they need.
