What this resource covers

United Kingdom startup funding and grants map turns official guidance and ecosystem practice into an action plan for UK founders working through Companies House, HMRC, ICO, SEIS/EIS and national growth support. Use it to decide what to do next, what evidence to save and which official source to verify before acting.

This guide is written for UK founders working through Companies House, HMRC, ICO, SEIS/EIS and national growth support. It is practical guidance, not legal, tax, investment or regulated professional advice.
