Is UK government funding available to apply for when starting a new business?

Government funding may be available for those starting a new small business to apply for, but you should consistently have a backup plan, because loans and grants are not guaranteed. Make a small business plan and a budget before you go further, as this is an important part of finding the money you need. You will need to know what you need money for and how much you need, and then to search for options such as loans and grants in your regional and local areas, as well as the national tier that you can use. Find out what the eligibility terms are of the programmes you are considering as well, because they are all different.
