Is a grant the only way to get small business funding from the United Kingdom government?

There are a number of potential forms of funding from the United Kingdom government for a company requiring financial assistance, including grant programmes. While some small business opportunities do look for grant based funding, others may find loan programmes to be somewhat less restrictive. Tax subsidies may be available if your small business is aiming to be environmentally friendly if you are seeking to establish a culturally diverse workforce or other reasons. If you are unsure as to which funding method may be appropriate for you, we encourage you to submit the information request form on our website, our call us freephone at 020 3880 8554 to speak with a representative directly.
