Business start up grants

Hi, can anyone tell me if they know of any business start up grants that are available to help with office/staff cost? It's a bit of a mine field looking on the net so if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated......

Not sure if this is quite what you're after but HMRC are running an Employer NIC Holiday scheme for new businesses starting up in certain areas of the country. Means you don't have to pay the Employer's NICs on the first 10 employees for a year. Here's a link to the info:
