Are small business start-up operations eligible for the same government grant programmes as bigger businesses?

Government grant programmes intended to help a start-up business is designed differently than those businesses operating on a large scale. So, the two having overlapping government grant programmes is not common, barring some special circumstance. These may include the applicant having a history of making such businesses work. In some cases, government grants are reserved for small start-up business operations due to the lower risk and the ability to spread the funding more evenly across multiple operations. This is rather than focusing large funds on one company or just a few. Contact us (freephone) at 020 3880 8554 to speak with our representatives.
