What is government small business loans fraud?

Government small business loans fraud usually takes two forms: when someone falsely applies for small business government loans or when someone claims to be offering government small business loans but does not, only doing so to get people to send them money. Prospective applicants who do not thoroughly research small business government loans are also subject to fraud because their need for money lures them into believing people claiming to offer government loans when they are not actually affiliated with the United Kingdom government. Prospective applicants for government funding who desire some assistance with their research can contact UKStartups at, freephone, 020 3880 8554 or they can drop us a line through our web site’s contact form.
