Guides
Twenty PDFs. Each one links to the page on this site and to the home page. Confirm the rule on the official page before you apply.
Finding grants by postcode
A postcode sits in five layers. The town next door is not the same list.
What to put in an application
The facts a funder scores, and the figures that stay blank until you know them.
Match funding
Your share of the project. Not a share of turnover, and not the same invoice twice.
Home energy grants
A heat pump, insulation, and solar. Three different rules.
Grants for a farm
Equipment and woodland. An England window stops at the border.
Innovation funding
Innovate UK opens competitions. It is not a standing pot.
Council and high-street grants
Local funds follow the council boundary. A national list misses some of them.
Grant, loan, or tax relief
Three kinds of help that get mixed up. Only one of them is a grant.
What the £99 draft buys
Looking is free. £99 writes one application. The grant is never touched.
A note for advisers
A fifth of the £99. Nothing from the grant. The client's price does not go up.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
A heat pump grant in England and Wales. The installer applies. It is not cash to you.
The Gigabit Broadband Voucher
A contribution to a connection the market has not already offered. Not a grant for a laptop.
The Workplace Charging Scheme
A contribution to off-street sockets. Not a grant for the cars, and not a home charger.
Made Smarter
Digital tools for a manufacturer, and only in the regions that run it.
Grants for a sole trader
A sole trader can apply where the scheme allows it. Some competitions want a limited company.
Grants for a new business
Being new is not a ban, and it is not a qualification. Many schemes want accounts.
Grants for a charity or a group
Awards for All is for community benefit. It is not a grant to raise a firm's profit.
The Disabled Facilities Grant
A council grant so a disabled person can stay in their home. It is not a business grant.
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
An England scheme does not cross the border. Each nation publishes its own.
The COVID grants are closed
The Restart Grant and the Small Business Grant Fund are not still paying.
