Can a minority find free help to apply for small business loans and grants?

A person belonging to a recognized minority demographic may find free information online that can lead to small business loans and grants offered by private and government sources that target them specifically. Women, for example, may find some government agencies sponsor private organizations that reward women entrepreneurs for their small business innovations. All such programmes are going to be different, though, so put in the leg work with regards to research. If you have not had any luck researching small business loans and grants appropriate to a venture owned by a minority, try UKStartups.org’s resources. The UKStartups.org can be contacted at either (freephone) 020 3880 8554 or online.
