Why are there more small business UK government loans available in London than grants?

There are more available UK government loans in London than there are grants because loans represent a lower risk to the UK government. This is because they must be paid back, whereas every grant is money given to a London small business without direct compensation. Of course, there are also private organisations in the UK that offer small business loans in London. These may include banks, some charities and other altruistic associations. However, they typically come with less favourable conditions that those from the UK federal or regional governments, or that of London, for that matter.
