Money

Are you looking to grow your business, get more customers, expand your team or develop new products or services? If so, you might need some extra funding. 

Trying to get funding can be one of the most difficult areas of starting out in business, or growing your business. It can be an uphill struggle getting money to kick-start your idea, but there are schemes available – from generic start-up grants available from companies such as The Princes Trust, to more project specific streams from organisations like the Arts Council Northwest.

The main things to remember are to be realistic about what you expect, and to make sure you keep up to date by joining the mailing lists of any organisations you think might be able to help. There are also various factors to be taken into account when considering funding ie the age of the business and the owner, the type of business and the geographical locations.
