Are London and East of England government small business loans the same as grants?

There are vast differences between London or East of England government small business loans and small business grants provided by these same government agencies. However, because some London and East of England small business government grants require a small business match the government pound for pound or meet a required minimum amount of other funding, government small business loans have traditionally proven to be a common means by which this requirement is met.
