Can an immigrant inventor apply for government small business funding?

An immigrant inventor may be able to get small business funding from the government to further their projects through one of the many loan or grant options available. There are loans and grants specifically for minorities, and there are more general grants offered for inventors to get help with patenting their creations, or funding to help them further their experimentation and creations. If you need funds, it is best to check the offers at the national, local and regional tiers to be certain you do not overlook any potentially useful programmes, and make note of the eligibility terms as well, as they are all different. If you need assistance, fill out the form on our web site or give us a call on UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
