I am looking to set up my own business but wish to get grants for starting it, does anybody know of any?Ive tried the princes trust, but apparently you have to be unemployed to receive one from them. So all that talk of 18 - 30 years old was rubbish. I am currently employed, looking to go self employed....Please let me know your thoughts :)I am 25 years old (In November 2008).--Answer1:go the municipality of ur locality, they will help u..--Answer2:Hi, It really depends on what type of business you are trying to start, and how many employees, if you are of any particular group, sex, minority, etc. Have you read any books about grants? Because of the economic problems which the entire world is in now, there may also be more grants to employ more people. I am a Realk Estate Investor, buying and rehabbing homes and flipping them and getting people that are first time home buyers, so I can get grants from Hud for them as first time home buyers that give low income families grants for deposit on the home, and some, may also qualify for a grant that will pay 1/2 their mortgage as long as they stay in that home. I am also seeking grants to start this business and to grow it and expand it. I will post more answers as you give me details and on my successes on getting grants..--Answer3:business and newshttp://yugtran.info/.--Answer4:The easiest thing to do is to go to one of the search engines like yahoo, google or Altavista and type in the type of grant you are looking for. They will come up with the websites of all sorts of government and business start up grants. Contact those sites and away you go.
