Are entrepreneurs in Edinburgh or East of England eligible for a free national government small business grant?

An entrepreneur in either East of England or Edinburgh may be eligible for a grant from the United Kingdom government, although none of the money is free. You may also be eligible for a grant from the East of England regional government or Edinburgh local government. In addition to grants, both governments may offer loans at a lower interest rate than banks, and with a longer available time to repay the loans. An entrepreneur’s location is not consistently an important factor during the application process, although this may come into play when dealing with more local grant sources that are designed to offer free money to small businesses that will directly benefit the local economy.
