Are British government small business loans or grants better for an entrepreneurƒ??s needs?

Depending on the specific small business needs, either British government small business loans or grants may be more valuable. If you need funds quickly, a loan is better. If you would like funds that you do not need to repay, you may be more interested in a grant. Grants are easier to get if you know exactly what you will use the money for, so if you need money for more general purposes, loans would be more beneficial. If you have the time to write a proposal a grant may be for you, because a well written proposal will give you an upper hand. If you want to quickly fill out an application, consider loan options.
