Is there a single location I must go to apply for a free UK government small business grant?

Keeping in mind no government grant programmes are free, there is no single location entrepreneurs can go to apply for a grant for a small business. Grants are free to apply for, but you must write a proposal to the specific programme you are interested in to apply. The proposal should tell more about yourself or your small business, such as what you need the money for, how the grant would help you, and what your long term plans are. Be sure to check the eligibility conditions of the grant you are interested in before setting out to write a proposal, as each programme has its own conditions. If you need more information, fill out our web site’s email contact form or give us a call on UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
