Are there a lot of small business loans and grants available?

The United Kingdom government has funded various financial aid programmes that a small business may qualify for and made them available to apply for. Grants tend to have a specific focus to them, either for certain industries, social initiatives or regions, and do not require repayment. Loans may be available for qualified candidates and generally feature fewer restrictions on their use, but must be paid back and will generally also accrue. Once you have found the best programme for your needs, then you must submit an application for approval. Our representatives are available to aid you and can even help you find further information as needed. You may connect to a representative at any time through our web site or by dialling 020 3880 8554.
