How can I get a business loan from the government in Scotland?

Scotland has business loan offers from the government which prove a viable alternative to bank loans in many cases, as they are generally lower interest or interest free and have their own eligibility requirements. To find a loan you can use, evaluate the offers in your region and nationwide based on their eligibility requirements and intended uses. Then you can further narrow your selection by looking at the repayment schedules, terms and interest rates. Apply for the loan based on the procedures stated for the particular offer. Learn more about how to use government loans by filling out the form on our website, or you may reach us by phone at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
