Are British small business loans the best way for my start up to get external financing?

British small business grants are usually preferred to government small business loans, for a start up or pre-existing small business. This is because the small business grants programmes do not need to be repaid, whereas government loans are more numerous than grants because there are more available and thus more to go around for applicants.
