The Grants and Support Directory allows you to search for potential sources of help with starting up or business development. The directory database contains grant and support schemes from central and local government as well as private organisations. Some of the schemes offer financial assistance, while some offer free or subsidised services ranging from advice through to practical involvement with projects. Depending on your location, type of business and what you need the funds for, you may be eligible for a number of schemes in the Grants and Support Directory.
