Grants & Funding
There are a number of organisations offering grants and funding schemes such as the government, the European Union and some charitable organisation, which can help towards the integration of Satellite Broadband within your business. Grants usually cover 15-75% of the total costs incurred when implementing technological solutions, however they do have to be matched with other funds also.
If ADSL or cable services are unobtainable within certain areas for small, large businesses or people who work from home, government grants can be used to install alternative broadband solutions.

Helpful Hints When Applying For Grants
'Give as much information as possible along with your reasons for wanting a Broadband connection and how it will benefit your business e.g. cost reductions and time saving when using the internet within your business.'
