Grants

How do I qualify for the grants available?

The sources and types of grant available to business are many and varied, as are the qualifying criteria. Your local Business Link can tell you about grants that may be available and advise you on whether, and how, your business might qualify for them. Advice on grants can also be sought from accountants and grant search organisations.

If you are hoping to qualify for a grant as a new start-up, there are a number of special initiatives around that your Business Link can tell you about - but you should not fall into the trap of shaping your business plan around an assumption that you will be eligible for a grant. When you contact an advisor about grants, be sure to let them know if you're a new start-up.
