However at the moment im officially unemployed and claiming job seekers allowance.
I have all the equipment that i need including my domain name, webspace, computers etc. My plan is to really get my name out there through advertising and actively approaching businesses with free website mock-ups as a key sellling point.
My question is given my current situation am i eligible to any grants, funding or government loans for advertising costs (i.e. yellow pages, business cards, newspaper adds, mail etc). I have looked around but with so much on offer on the internet i have no idea where to start and what services will be worth applying for. As you can imagine i dont wish to fill out lengthy application forms if i dont have a chance for the grant in the first place.
I genuinely appreciate any links that you may have regarding funds if they are relevant. I also appreciate any other input and advice on setting up a business, advertising ideas and general knowledge (dont spend hours writing up though i already have my business platform its just the money situation – as always!)
Thanks again in advance.
Craig
