Are there specific business loans for ethnic minorities in Edinburgh?

In recognition of the systemic bias facing ethnic minorities, it is possible the UK government has specific small business loans provided for them in Edinburgh. Aside from properly researching small business loans intended solely for minorities, consider applying for multiple government loans of a non-ethnic nature that you are also eligible for. You should also pursue grants in order to increase your chance of funding success should one or more application fail to obtain the money you need.
