Which national government grants are intended for opening a small business?

Many national government grants can be used for opening a small business if the applicant proves to be eligible. The money from these grants can help small business owners get machinery they need, advertise, hire employees, and more. Each grant programme has its own eligibility terms, so be sure to take a look at these before making a final decision. If you do not find a useful grant from the national options, consider regional or local grant programmes also. Learn more about proposals and the grant process by filling out our web site’s email contact form or by calling us at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
