New business website available to source information about grants

j4bgrants.co.uk is a new website providing comprehensive, up-to-date and fully searchable information on hundreds of grants, loans, venture capital schemes and other funds available to UK businesses.

It covers all major European Union and UK Government funds, along with regional development agency schemes and harder to find local opportunities, such as the Aspire Investment Fund – Wales, which is an equity investment fund available to women-led business in Wales that have high growth potential.

It's owned and managed by j4b, a research and publishing company that provides a database of funding available to voluntary and community groups, businesses, public sector organisations and individuals across the UK.

j4b contacted the VWBN following Home Secretary, Theresa May's comment on the need for more women in business, and her announcement about plans to put measures of support in place within the next year to boost female entrepreneurship.

In the current economic climate however, it can be extremely difficult to access the finance needed to start and grow a business – and that’s why it is crucial businesses explore all other alternatives forms of finance. Via j4bgrants.co.uk, businesses can also sign up for free weekly newsletters containing updates on new funds, approaching deadlines and major policy announcements, along with grant alerts that automatically inform them when new funding opportunities are available.

Visit www.j4bgrants.co.uk to see what’s on offer and find the funding you need to grow and succeed.
