With the right knowledge and support, UK businesses can unlock thousands to millions in non-dilutive funding. The 2025 edition of Grants 101 by Ayming is your updated go-to guide for navigating the complex UK grant landscape, with new guidance on Innovate UK priorities, application strategies, and industry insights tailored for the year ahead.
Grants incentivise businesses to undertake projects in areas of government priority, such as semi-conductor manufacturing or decarbonisation. Unlike other incentives, like R&D tax credits, the application process for grant funding begins before any expenses are incurred.
