What is on this site
One question, "business grants finder", answered with a checker that works on the page with no account, 3 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- Are there start-up business grants in the UK?: There is no general national start-up grant. What exists is a government-backed loan at 7.5%, local and sector schemes, and two official finders worth more than any list.
- R&D tax relief and innovation grants: can you have both?: Since April 2024 HMRC says there is no restriction on claiming subsidised costs under the merged scheme or ERIS. What changed, the rates, and what still trips claims.
- What the government pays towards apprenticeship training in England: Non-levy employers pay nothing for apprentices aged 16 to 24, and 5% for everyone else. Plus £1,000 for younger apprentices and a hiring payment from 1 October 2026.

Business Grants Finder is an independent information site operated by Ellul Solutions Ltd. It is not affiliated with the Department for Business and Trade, HMRC, Innovate UK, the British Business Bank or any government body, and nothing here is financial, tax or legal advice. Every scheme named on this site was re-read at the funder's own page on the date shown at the top, but grant programmes open and close constantly and scheme counts change daily. Confirm the current position and the eligibility criteria on the funder's own page before you spend time on an application, and never pay a fee to access a government grant service.
