Does anyone have any clearcut knowledge on the best way to go about this? I think a whole heap of would-be entrepreneurs are blocked in their efforts due to difficulty in understanding how to request funding from the government.

I know there are over 100 different grants available from both the UK government and the constituent national governments in Wales, Scotland and N.I.

This discussion is aimed at being a collaborative effort to provide quick info for startups looking in this area. Here is what I found quickly:

My first point of call is Business Link “Grants and Government Support”: http://bit.ly/Hl4tHC

You can jump straight to their Directory here to search by sector or location:

Hi All,

Callum I think you’re exactly right.

Thought i’d bump this discussion as it’s important one!
There are a ton of funding resources I’m aware of however some are limited by age and some by location.

Shell LiveAWARD awards
Virgin Media Pioneers
Business Gateway/ Business Link
Starter for 6 (Scotland)
Princes Trust (generally 18-25)
The Pitch UK

It would be great if anyone else could add on ones they know!

You can also get StartUp loans from StartUp Britain – they are low interest enterprise loans It’s a fantastic resource, up to £2,500 available if you have a viable business plan.
Unfortunately they are not available in Scotland, where I’m based – which is a real shame.

Hi everybody, I provide business mentoring to start ups on behalf of Yorkshire enterprise and they provide loans of £1000 under the NEA scheme administered by the job centre.

Kind regards
