Is there a government business loan guarantee scheme available?

Instead of offering a business loan directly, some government agencies do indeed provide a government business loan guarantee scheme that allows government funding sources to provide security to commercial lending institutions on behalf of small business owners. Whether a specific form of business assistance is an actual government loan or a loan guarantee will be clearly spelled out in the provided information online, but it is likely you will have trouble locating it in the first place.
