Are grants the only way the West Midlands government can help me start up a business?

Aside from grants, the West Midlands government can help you start up a business by providing small business loans, tax considerations, mentoring and seminars, and a number of other helpful resources. All grants and loans, not to mention other West Midlands start up business resources, have their own intended uses and eligibility requirements. So, note these when seeking grants or other forms of assistance in West Midlands for your start up business or you may end up wasting your time.
