Are loans better for small business than government grants in Edinburgh?

Government grants and loans are both offered in Edinburgh for small business needs, but neither type of funding offer is necessarily better than the other. There are choices that may be able to help with your business, but you will need to first consider how you need to spend the funds so that you can compare your needs to the intended uses of the options that you find and select a grant or loan that is right for you.
