Actually, it doesn't mean that we start business is for benefit only:j.

My husband and I have did lots of job at home ,we have got patent certificate, we wish to turn our patent into real product.

At the moment, we wrote project proposal and business plan which already cost us half year to work at home for all these paper works.

We are trying to get business grant to start the business .

But we do need support at the very begining, we can't generate any profits in this period yet.

If we entitled to work tax credit or other benefits, then why not apply ?

You can work employed via PAYE , save hard to fund your business or look for a fanancial backer. Why should the Taxpayer subsidise your business start up through tax credits?.Work hard and save until you have the money to back your business.

I'm in favour of business grants as long as they go to viable businesses but the benefits system was never set up to subsidise private business ,its just plain wrong.

If your going to start your own business then great, good luck but you shouldn't think your "Entitled" to be subsidised through benefits, Business grants etc yes but they are totally different.
