The UK government and regional bodies offer a wide range of grants for small businesses. Our finder tool searches across all major schemes to match your business with funding you're eligible for.
If your business is developing new products, processes, or services, you may qualify for Innovate UK funding. These grants support R&D projects from initial concept through to prototype and commercialisation. Awards typically range from £25,000 to £10 million depending on the stage and scope of your project.
Businesses investing in energy efficiency, renewable energy, or reducing their carbon footprint can access dedicated green funding. This includes grants for solar panel installation, electric vehicle fleet transitions, heat pump adoption, and waste reduction initiatives. Many UK local authorities also offer their own green business grants.
Depending on where your business is based, you may be eligible for regional funding through Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs), the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, or devolved administration schemes in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. These funds support job creation, skills training, and business expansion in specific geographic areas.
While not a grant in the traditional sense, R&D tax credits can provide significant cash benefits for businesses investing in innovation. SMEs can claim up to 27% of qualifying R&D expenditure as a tax deduction or, for loss-making companies, a payable cash credit. Many businesses miss out on this because they don't realise their activities qualify.
Our free tool asks a few simple questions about your business — sector, location, size, and what you're looking to fund — then searches our database of active grant schemes to produce a tailored shortlist. Each result includes the grant name, funding amount, eligibility criteria, deadline, and a direct link to apply.
