Can I use a government grant in South West to start a new business?

It is possible to get some funding in South West from a government grant for a new business, but the grant should not be your only financing option, since there is no way of knowing beforehand whether or not you will be awarded funds from the grant that you apply for. To be considered as a grant applicant you first must ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements for the offer of your choice and also can use the funds in line with their purposes. Then you must write a proposal to apply. Learn how to write a proposal and more about business grants by contacting us on the phone, 020 3880 8554, at UKStartups.org, or if you prefer you may fill out the form on our website.
