Government grant for Inventors

Martin1964

Hi can anyone please help answer my question! Who do I approach to get help with applying for a government grant, to help patient an invention?

Thank you in advance.

There's no mention of any government grants on the offical gov.org guide to applying for a patent
https://www.gov.uk/patent-your-invention

"The application process is:

• complicated - only 1 in 20 applicants get a patent without professional help
• expensive - with professional help, applications typically cost £4,000
• long - it usually takes 5 years

If you get a patent, you’ll also have to pay to renew your patent each year and pay the costs of legal action if you need to defend your intellectual property."
