Is their any charities, etc. That give out loans or grants to start a business, for the unemployed?
yes there are a quite a few, you can use business link’s grants directory to find something suitable http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/act… but also be sure to let your jobcentre adviser know that you want to get off benefits and start self-employment (as well as start-up help they can also access discretionary pots of money to help you, so get on their good side!) you could also try http://www.turn2us.org.uk/information__r… plus if you’re under 30 then the prince’s trust is a good idea for business grants & support to set up your own business as you also get a mentor to guide you through the early days http://www.princes-trust.org.
