What assistance has been made available for starting a new business in the UK?

Some of the programmes are targeted specifically towards small businesses within their infancy, and can be a huge relief to those dreading the start up costs. These loans are generally offered at better rates than from the bank, and there is no expectation of grant money being repaid.
