New Business - Grants?
Posted: Wed 23 Oct, 2013 9:44 pm
Hello everyone
I’m looking into starting up my own small picture framing business and I wondered if anyone knew of any business start-up grants that I might be able to apply for? You hear about such things in the news from time to time but until you actually want one for yourself you never realise quite how elusive they can be!
I cannot afford to start my own business without borrowing from a bank and unfortunately have been unsuccessful in tracking down any long lost millionaire relations. Although I anticipated having to borrow money I thought it would certainly be worth looking into any available grants as an added bonus and to possibly reduce (however slightly) the amount I have to borrow.
Though I have been employed full-time as a picture framer for ten years I am still only 26, I don’t have a mortgage and have never borrowed money in my life - apart from the odd tenner from my parents of course.
I am really excited about the prospect of this new start and I can’t wait to get going!
I would be most grateful to anyone who might be able to point me in the right direction.
I will post this ad in a couple of sections in the forum as i am not entirely sure under which category it falls.
