Does the British government give small business loans to everyone who applies?

The British government has some small business loans that are given to applicants that are approved to be awarded the funds. Each loan has its own terms, interest rates, eligibility conditions, repayment schedules, and intended use. So, it is best to look over many options to find the one that best meets your needs. If you do not find a small business loan that you can use immediately, it is worth looking into the options provided at the regional and local levels as well as the national ones. Even if you have been rejected by the bank before you may be able to get a loan from the government, as their conditions are different. Learn more by filling out the form on our website.
