How do I apply for government grants in the UK?

Most small business loans made available by government agencies in the UK provide competitive interest rates. The vast majority of these loans will be preferable to a general small business or personal loan available at a bank or credit union. However, you will be required to complete paperwork and meet terms in order to be eligible for a small business loan. You may instead apply for government grants, as they are available for start-ups as well as for expansion, to purchase equipment and to develop export markets.
