I've spent hours looking for information but can't seem to get anywhere.
Does anyone know of a company or organisation that can assist with grant applications?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
I have a new project that will be ready to go by May 1st and I thought as I'm going to be employing people from day one I'd apply for a government grant to assist with the start up. I've spent hours looking for information but can't seem to get anywhere. Does anyone know of a company or organisation that can assist with grant applications? Any help will be very much appreciated.

Try your local Chamber of Commerce - they'll know about government, local authority and business development grants generally. They'll also be pleased to tell you about all the wonderful extra benefits you'll get from joining them! You could also get info directly from the government web sites and helplines. I think there's a Department of Business Information & Skills (dbis) but I'm not sure - anyway you could always try a search under "government advice", "government grants" Best wishes, Linda Linda CareersPartnershipUK

Thanks for the input guys. Linda, unfortunately the local chamber of commerce didn't have much info for me, but I had never heard of the Dept of Innovation and Business Skills. Their website has some useful info under enterprise and business support. Thanks for the tip. Lion, I have spoken to my local business link on the phone and have an appointment to see them next week, but they seem to think there is nothing available at the moment. SCentral
I have recently been looking in to this, they have just opened for applications at the start of April so now is a good time. UK Government Grants & Loans - The UK Business Funding Centre Small Business Advice UK | Government Grants | Starting a Business You can also get specific ones which will suit your business and what ever service/product you offer. Also i'm not sure what it is your offering but this is meant to be a good site for new products or business ideas, basically its just random people that like the idea invest in your business, might be worth a look: Kickstarter TCCuk
TCCuk Thank you for your input. I had already found the top two suggestions however the Kickstarter link is really useful for a different project I'm working on to build an mmo. SCentral |
