Is government assistance available for starting oneƒ??s own business?

One can find financial assistance for starting their own small business from their regional government, as well as from the United Kingdom national government. This assistance can come in the form of a grant or a loan. Loans are typically low-interest and easy to repay, while grants are usually not expected to be paid back. Whether or not one is eligible for such government assistance with starting one’s own small business is another matter, and will require a degree of researching the various funding programmes before applying.
