What kind of financing is there for businesses in the United Kingdom?

Businesses in the United Kingdom can get financing for their needs from one of the government programmes available for business owners to use. There are some for new businesses as well as many for existing businesses, and a few for people who wish to buy existing businesses. Consider what you need to use the funding for and how much you need so that when you are ready to seek funds from a grant or a loan you will be able to narrow down the offers based on their intended uses and eligibility requirements. In the case of loans, also note the interest rates, terms and repayment schedules.
