Can I get a loan and grant for my North East business?

It is not likely that you will get both a North East loan and grant for your business, since the funding offers are provided to the region from the government to help business owners in the area, and it is more likely that the funding offers will be distributed to as many people as possible, rather than many being provided to one. It may be a good idea to apply for a loan and a grant, or for more than one offer, as it is good to have a back up plan for funds. Check the eligibility requirements for each before making your decision. For advice or more information, fill out the form on our website or give us a call at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
