Where to go to get a Grant for your Business Website

The first thing you should do to get a grant for your website, should be to contact your Local Authority. A Local Authority often has special schemes to help support and promote businesses in their area, which can include funding for websites through a series of Grants.

You can find details of your Local Authority here.

Secondly, and if you have not already been referred by the Local Authority, you should contact Business Link. Business Link is a national organisation covering England Scotland and Wales set-up to support business in the UK and which offers Grants for a Website. To contact your nearest Business Link Office go here. If you'll be applying for a grant for your website from Business Link, you should contact them before you appoint a web designer or developer for the project.
