Grants
Government grants can really help, especially when you're growing or expanding an existing SME. However, most startup businesses will not qualify or find the grant process complex, time-consuming and highly competitive.
Do you really need a grant to get started? If so you may need to have an alternative plan. Loan, family assistance etc.
Warning : There are a number of websites that claim that you can secure a grant through a payment. All government grants are free to apply for and a payment will secure a grant.
The Alternative
Banks - With bank loan, the principal amount needs to be repaid and interest over a period of time. Banks are not risk takers, so they will also take security over personal assets.
Equity Raising - Raise private capital with business partners, perhaps someone already known or an outside investor, often called an angel investor.
Passive shareholders - Raising capital from a number of passive shareholders. These investors invest money with an expectation of profit by way of dividends and/or growth in the share price of their shareholding.
