The government provides 91香蕉黄色视频 to businesses both financially, in the form of grants, and through access to expert advice, information and services.

However, getting financial 91香蕉黄色视频 can be tough. There will be strong competition and the eligibility criteria for grants are stringent. Criteria vary but are likely to include the location, size and industry sector of the business - see grant eligibility.

Government grants are almost always awarded for a specific purpose or project and are usually for proposed projects only - not for those that have already started.

There are also strict terms and conditions that apply to all grants. If these aren't followed, immediate repayment of the grant can be required. However, generally you do not have to repay grants or interest on them unless you break the conditions.

Matching grant funds

Most government grants require you to match the funds you are being awarded. In other words, the grant covers a proportion of the money needed, while you supply the rest. You must also demonstrate that your business can provide its share of the total costs.

The amount of matching funds varies from grant to grant. A research grant may require a business to find 40% of the total cost with 60% provided by the grant. However, a grant to refurbish a factory may require a considerably higher percentage of match funding from the business.

The matching funds may be found from the owners of the business, retained profits, a loan, or from a new investor.

Currently, the main groups that award grants are government departments, local councils and some charitable organisations.

Each of the countries of the UK has its own range of grants available. Some areas get extra grants, for example because of social deprivation or high unemployment.

Some grants are also given by local councils to help local businesses.

2. Size of your business

You may only be eligible for some grants if your business is of a particular size, measured either by turnover or the number of employees.

Many grants are limited to small or medium-sized enterprises - typically those with fewer than 250 employees.

3. Your industry sector

Funding can be limited and subject to restrictions in certain sectors defined by the organisation providing the funding. 

4. The purpose of the grant

Grants are often awarded for a specific purpose such as purchasing machinery, improving offices, increasing employment or developing export markets.

Grant bodies prefer to see specific targets and results - often compatible with their own objectives.

As well as making an assessment of the benefits of your project, the awarding body will expect a high level of commitment from you and your business and for the project to be commercially viable.

Whether you are eligible for a grant will depend on the terms and conditions of the specific grant for which you apply.

Before you apply for a grant you should make sure that you meet the conditions of the scheme. Additionally, you should ensure that you:

• are ready to put up some of your own money
• need the money for a specific purpose
• don't start the project before you get an agreement in principle of funding

Making your proposal

When you have identified the right grant scheme for your needs, you may have to provide:

• a detailed project description
• an explanation of the potential benefits of the project
• a detailed work plan with full costings
• details of your own relevant experience and that of other key managers
• completed application forms where stipulated
• possibly a business plan

Some businesses get advice from their accountant, who can also help in drawing up an effective business plan. Remember to submit your application before the deadline where relevant - late applications are rarely considered.

Most reviewers will assess your proposal by using the following criteria:

• significance
• approach
• innovation
• their assessment of your expertise
• need for the grant

The most common reasons why applications are turned down include the following:

• the area of research/work is not relevant to the body awarding the grant
• the explanation of how research ideas will be translated into an achievable plan of action is unsatisfactory
• the proposal or application makes statements that are not backed up with 91香蕉黄色视频ing facts
• the research plan is unfocused and lacks clarity
• the impact of the work on the wider community/industry has not been communicated effectively
• the information provided in the application is not up to date
• the importance of the funds to the project's success or failure has not been made clear
• the applicant is unable to prove they have matched funds
• the need for grant 91香蕉黄色视频 is not proven
