- Sector and regional grant programmes.
What to expect
Grants are competitive and often need match funding and a clear plan. They take time, so treat them as a bonus rather than your core funding.
Frequently asked questions
Do grants need to be repaid?+
Generally no, unlike a loan — but they come with conditions, and some are partly match-funded by you.
