Start up small business financial assistance may be available from one of the government loan or grant options which are offered annually. There are national programmes open to applicants nationwide, as well as any regional or local area offers that may be helpful to you. Consider what you need to use the money for and how much you need before beginning your search, as these things will help you determine which programmes are best for you.
