Govt Grants Support

Govt Grants Support– Overview

Government grants are a crucial funding source for NGOs, trusts, societies, and Section-8 companies working in areas such as education, healthcare, rural development, skill training, and women empowerment. Various ministries and government departments provide financial assistance, project-based grants, and scheme-based support to NGOs that meet the eligibility and compliance requirements. However, applying for these grants can be complex, with detailed documentation, portal registrations, and compliance checks required at every stage.

 

At Cardiff Services, we provide end-to-end support for securing government grants, helping NGOs prepare the right applications, align with scheme guidelines, and maintain compliance for continued funding. Our team ensures that your NGO does not miss out on opportunities due to incomplete paperwork or lack of compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

A company name search ensures that your chosen business name is unique, legally compliant, and not already registered with Companies House UK. It helps you avoid legal disputes, trademark issues, and confusion in the Cardiff business market.

If your desired name is already registered, you’ll need to choose a different name or modify it. Using a taken name could result in rejection by Companies House or potential legal issues. Our experts can help you brainstorm alternative names that are compliant and market-ready.

It’s not advisable to use a name that’s too similar to another company, especially within the same industry. Similar names can confuse customers and risk trademark disputes. A company name search helps you identify these risks early.

For a company name search in Cardiff, you may need:

  • Proposed company name

  • Business entity type (Ltd, LLP, Partnership, etc.)

  • Jurisdiction (Cardiff / UK)

  • Owner or shareholder details (if applicable)

  • Business description

A “high probability” result means your proposed company name is likely to be available, but further checks are recommended. This is why our detailed Cardiff Company Name Search Report includes both identical and similar names for clarity.

Certain words are restricted under UK law (e.g., “bank,” “insurance,” “government”). If you want to use them, you’ll need special approval from regulatory bodies. We guide you through this process if your Cardiff business requires such terms
