What must I do to apply for and get a UK government small business loan?

Getting a UK government small business loan is not guaranteed to everyone. However, to apply you must first find a loan programme that you are eligible for. When looking at loans, also note that they all have different terms, repayment schedules and interest rates. This also goes for intended uses. Some do not have interest, and some do not need to be paid back at all. Attention to these details will allow you to pick out one that is best for you. If you do not find a programme that meets your needs at the national level, look for one at the regional or local level you may want to use. Then you will need to apply and be approved to receive the money. To acquire additional information, fill in our website’s form. Alternatively, ring us at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
