Week 7 (PS Lvl 5) Funding

If I want to do a trade show soon after I graduate, I would have to think of ways to fund this as they can be very expensive, especially for someone just starting out in business. I have done a little digging on the internet and found some possible options.

British Council and Arts Council offer grants. However, this is for internationally work, so I would have to consider if I would want to exhibit abroad straight away. 

The Government offer low interest start-up loans for new designers. Obviously, the downside of this is that this would have to be paid back unlike a grant, but I have yet to come across a grant allowing me to do a trade show in the UK first.
