How does a small business in London know if it is qualified to apply for government grants?

The only way for a small business in London to know if it is qualified to apply for government grants is to do the research required to track down the grants in the first place. Once a grant is identified, one must compare the venture’s circumstances against the scheme’s presented criteria for application. Each grant is different, so determining this for one programme alone will not mean the entrepreneur is eligible for all other government grants as well. Someone unable to find the information they need about what needs to be done to apply for government grants appropriate to a small business in London may benefit from a discussion with an independent research organization. If you have a need for such funding, ring the UKStartups freephone number, 020 3880 8554, or use UKStartups email contact form.
