What misconceptions do people have about British government small business grants?

Common misconceptions about British government small business grants are plentiful. Many people think that you must pay back money received in government grants, which is not true. Some people think that you can get a grant just by applying, which is not the case, because you must meet the eligibility terms and have your proposal selected as the winner. Others think that grants cost money to apply for, when they are actually free to apply for. Sometimes people think that you can use grant money for whatever you want, when grant money actually must be spent in accordance with the intended purpose listed within the grant.
