Spotlight: well-known grant providers you should know

There are hundreds of grant schemes available, but a few providers come up again and again. Here are some of the most recognised names you’ll see in the calendar.

Innovate UK

The UK’s main driver for innovation funding, Innovate UK backs research and development projects that can deliver real commercial impact. Their grants typically start at around £25,000 and can reach millions for high-growth or high-tech ventures. If your business is building something new, whether that is clean energy, life sciences, or cutting-edge AI, this is a key name to watch.

The King’s Trust

For young people aged 18 to 30 who want to start or grow a business, The King’s Trust (formerly The Prince’s Trust) offers more than just money. Expect mentoring, training, and hands-on guidance alongside access to funding. It is a strong first step for anyone taking their first shot at business ownership.

Local authorities and councils

Your local council can be a surprisingly good source of funding. Many run grant schemes for small businesses, from funding to improve your premises to support for digital upgrades or sustainability projects. These vary widely by region, so it is always worth checking your local authority website or using the calendar to see what is live in your area.

Scottish Enterprise and Highlands & Islands Enterprise

If you are based in Scotland, these two agencies are important players. They provide grants that encourage innovation, green growth, and international expansion. Whether you are developing new tech or investing in infrastructure, Scottish Enterprise and Highlands & Islands Enterprise could be valuable partners.

The Royal Countryside Fund

Set up to support rural businesses and communities, The Royal Countryside Fund offers grants that help farms diversify, keep village shops alive, or boost rural skills. If your business is based in the countryside, this fund can provide both financial backing and a strong support network.

DEFRA and government schemes for agriculture

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) runs a range of schemes aimed at modernising UK farming. Recent examples include agri-innovation grants that support everything from robotics to sustainable land use. If your business touches agriculture or food production, keep an eye out for these opportunities.
