SMEs can identify available government grants to check which ones they are eligible to apply for on the Find Government Grants page on www.gov.uk.

As part of efforts to better support growth and productivity across the UK’s 5.5 million SMEs, the Department for Business and Trade is in the process of designing and implementing a new Business Growth Service.

With improved signposting, joined up across national and local business support services, the Business Growth Service will make it easier and simpler for SMEs to access information related to their business needs, including financing options.
