  Have been looking around to see if there is any funding or grants available
  for business's that have been up and running and want to expand, ie WFP.

  Does anyone know of anything, managed to get a grant for setting up.

You read my mind , i just tried the very same thing , went to a few of these people and found that they dont give you the money to buy equipment, its only for ads or market research ! !
It might be different where you go , but i wouldnt hold your breath.
And besides , i reckon by the time you go to all the meetings and have filled out countless bits of paper you could have eant the money to buy an entry level system yourself , if it works out for you just add to the system as you go .
Thats my plan anyway,but if you do find anybody willing to throw money at you let us know , ill have some of it ! !  LOL

DO YOU HAVE BUSINESS LINK OFFICES IN YOUR AREA. THEY'RE FUNDED BY LOCAL COUNCILS WHERE I LIVE AND PROVIDE FANTASTIC GRANTS AND LOANS TO SUPPLEMENT ADDITIONAL INCOME. I LOOKED INTO IT WHEN I EXPANDED 6 MONTHS AGO, AND ALTHOUGH I FOUND I DIDN'T NEED TO BORROW, THEIR TERMS WERE MUCH BETTER THAN MY BANK. THEY'RE ALSO REALLY GOOD IF YOU WANT TO KEEP UP WITH CURRENT LEGISLATION OR IF YOU NEED ANY FREE BUSINESS ADVICE.

Don't know how long you've been in business, but I,ve just received a £500 new business start up grant. It was thro local college/district council. You have to have been in business less than 6 months or thinking of starting a new business.
I intend using the funds to purchase a van.
