Can government grants be used to purchase equipment for a small business?

You may be able to get a grant to help pay for equipment for your small business, depending on your prerequisites and the grants which are available at this time. There are grants that can help people pay for equipment provided at the national, regional and local levels of government annually. However, they may have more stipulations. So, read through the options carefully. Each grant also has its own eligibility conditions. So, if you are not eligible for one of them, do not be discouraged. If you do not find what you need in grants, you might want to consider a government loan, which usually are more favourable than bank loans.
