Can my small business apply for government grants?

If your small business needs government grants, my advice to you would be to start looking into the available programs. Different government agencies are indeed putting grants out there for small business owners to investigate, but they are not opening them up to just anyone. Your business will have to indicate its eligibility for any grants it wants to pursue, and the terms under which this is done varies between the funds. In need of information regarding government small business grants being offered in your part of the UK? My advice would be to contact UKStartups, an independent research organization, to see if they help. Phone 020 3880 8554 or use the web form to do so.
