The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me find grants and funding for my business.

My business: [what you do, how long, size]
Where: [town, region]
What I'd use the money for: [details]
Can I match-fund: [yes, no, partly]

First ask me up to 4 short questions. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Search GOV.UK's business finance support finder and my council or region's official business support pages. Name each page.
2. A table of leads: name, who runs it, type (grant, loan), what it's for, deadline, fit.
3. Red flags for funding scams.
4. The three to apply for first, and what each needs.

Only use official or provider sites, and say if something might be closed. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts or figures. UK English.

For GOV.UK's business finance support finder and official local business support, use web search and name the page you used. If it doesn't search on its own, open View all tools and choose Search.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. what you do, how long, size: a short note you already have. town, region: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.

This does not give tax advice. The books stay in the accounting system.

1

You describe your business, where you are and what you'd use money for.

2

The assistant asks your size, sector and whether you can match-fund.

3

You get leads from GOV.UK's business finance support finder and local sources, a fit check for each and red flags.
