The landscape
What grants can a UK business actually claim?
More than most owners think — and almost none of it is advertised to you. These are the categories Gov Owed checks your company against, every one verified against the official source.
Hiring incentives
Wage subsidies and recruitment grants for taking people on — especially young people, the long-term unemployed and apprentices. Often £1,000–£10,000 per hire.
R&D tax relief
If you've improved a product, process or system — even unsuccessfully — you may claim back a slice of the spend. The single most under-claimed relief among small firms.
Capital investment schemes
Match-funding for equipment, premises and green upgrades, from council pots to national programmes.
Skills & training funds
Subsidised or fully-funded training for your team — devolved schemes in Scotland and Wales are particularly generous.
Regional & council funding
City deals, growth hubs, shopfront grants, rural funds. Hyper-local money national lists quietly miss.
Devolved-nation schemes
Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish programmes with their own pots and their own rules — England-centric tools skip them entirely.
Scan your company free and see which of these apply to you — check what your business is owed — or browse the full scheme directory.
Every match shows why you qualify — and what's holding you back.
Other finders hand you a list. Gov Owed's report shows every eligibility rule, pass or fail, so you know where you stand before you apply.
