High on ideas, but low on funds?

We can help!
Looking to start up a company? Or perhaps you already have an established business and are looking at new investments? Maybe you have a great idea that could have an impact on the market?
There’s just one problem. The only way you can see your idea coming to life is by financing this project from your own funds, or with some assistance from a bank, right? Wrong.
There is a multitude of funding programmes whose sole aim is to financially support your project and make it happen. This support may be a tax credit, or a cash grant given to you following project completion. Some funding bodies even provide access to grants in advance.
This means you can save your own capital for your operation, and use government and EU grants to start up your project!
