Can someone instantly apply for a UK government small business loan?

Unless you go to a private lender, an entrepreneur will not get any United Kingdom government small business loan funds instantly. The government has a responsibility to the tax payers who supply the money behind such small business loan programmes, and as such there is a strict approval process in place that applicants must get approval from. This process takes time, so one will not get the money instantly if approved, instead taking weeks or possibly months to move through the approval process to determine eligibility until the point where funds, if approved, are delivered. UKStartups.org has an online quick request form or phone number you can call, at 020 3880 8554, for more information.
