I've briefly, and I mean briefly, researched this and found that grants are available, but they're aimed at getting businesses to employ people.
For example, if you earnt £30K a year using a ladder and you wanted a grant to go WFP so that you can earn £50K per year, then you would get the big 'Suck That' tablet.
However, if you put up a case where you could employ X amount of people if you had a grant, then you would be considered.
