Can I receive cash loans from the government?

Cash loans are typically given in emergency situations. You may find it easier to obtain cash loans from a bank or other private lender than from a government lending institution.

The UK Government typically has a more lengthy application process and it may take time for you to receive funds. However, in some cases there may be cash loans available.

Funding changes periodically. You will want to begin researching only when you are ready to apply. You may also seek government grant funding for your small business as well.
