Grants and Funding

Grants and Funding

There are a number of reasons why a business looks for grants and funding opportunities:

  • Starting a business
  • Working capital
  • Asset purchase
  • Growing a business
  • Debt restructuring
  • And many more

There are a number of financing and grant options that can be explored. 

However, no matter the option it will mean presenting your business idea to potential investors, so you will need to be confident and know your business model inside and out.  Ensure you have a strong business plan in place.
