Are both small business government loans and grants programmes available for a start up in the UK?

Some United Kingdom government small business funding programmes do indeed offer both loans and grants to start up small businesses with financial needs. However, they are not, by definition, grants programmes. They would be loans and grants programmes. When petitioning for funds from one of these programmes, however, you still must indicate whether you are applying for funding from the small business loans or grants aspect, or possibly even both, although the conditions and terms will differ. UKStartups.org can help funding applicants consider their small business loans and grants options for programmes to help a small business. Ring one of UKStartups advisers freephone at 020 3880 8554 or use the online contact form available from our website.
