Can a retail small business apply for government grants?

There are some small business grants provided by the UK government that can be utilized by retail small businesses. The exact amount of grants available at any one time is difficult to determine, because annually there are different grants offered and all grants have their own end dates, so programmes are closing and opening all the time. If you are looking to open a retail small business you may be able to use one of the programmes for new small business owners that can help cover the initial costs. There are also grants for people who need money to buy existing small businesses, and for established small business owners to make improvements.
