Places to look for money and support, grouped by who they are for. Each link goes to the provider’s own website, which has the current rules, dates and ways to apply.
A grant does not have to be repaid. A loan does. Equity investment means giving an investor a share of your business. Some schemes combine them. Check which one a scheme offers before you apply.
A short list of places to search, not a list of open grants. Being listed here does not mean a provider funds IT’S POSSIBLE NOW, works with us or will fund you. Each scheme has its own rules, and not every Community Interest Company qualifies for every programme. IT’S POSSIBLE NOW does not run an open grant or loan scheme.

Public registers you can use to check that an organisation is who it says it is. We use the same registers for our own organisation checks.

Charity Commission (GOV.UK)
Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own registers, some charities do not have to register, and a Community Interest Company is not a charity, so it will not appear here.
