Are some trades in Britain prohibited from applying for government grants?

Different qualified trades have different grants intended for them in Britain. However, there are more general small business grants that may be able to help people across different areas of industry or trades. There are small business funding options at the regional, local and national ranks, though, the amount and types of the programmes out there does change in accordance with the needs of society and the available funding for the purpose. If you do find some grants you are considering, be sure to check the eligibility conditions and intended uses to be certain you can use them before you begin the proposal writing process.
