Does either the Scotland or Wales government provide any small business grants?

Scotland or Wales regional government agencies may provide loans or grants to those who are seeking to start a small business. While the process of finding a programme that offers the funding you require and then successfully applying for the money can be difficult, you are not alone and so a number of third-party consulting services have sprung up to streamline and easy the search and application process. This can save you a lot of time and energy that would otherwise be spent looking for this information on your own.
