Is it free to apply for government small business loan programmes offered in Wales?

It is usually free to apply for a small business loan from the government in Wales, although some programmes may have a small processing fee applied. A common obstacle to being approved for a small business loan is improper or insufficient preparation leading to applying for a Wales government loan the applicant is not actually eligible for. Of course, this ends up wasting time if not money in those instances where applying is free.
