Grants for Sole Traders
Sole traders are eligible for fewer grants than limited companies, but several programmes target freelancers and self-employed individuals. Local Growth Hubs, New Enterprise Allowance successors, and some Innovate UK programmes accept sole trader applications.
There are currently 37 live grants available for sole traders in the UK, with deadlines ranging from 2 July 2026 to 30 September 2030.
