How do I request UK grants for my business?

You cannot request to be given grants for your business in the UK. The way that it works is that you apply for grants individually and a committee will decide which applicants will get funding based on their application and proposal. First you need to find a grant whose eligibility requirements and intended uses are right for you and your business costs. Then you need to write a proposal to apply which should include what you need to use the money for, how the grant will help you, and what your goals are for the future of your business. If you need more information, contact us at UKStartups.org by completing the form on our website or by dialling, 020 3880 8554.
