Why can entrepreneurs in Scotland apply for government grants and loans?

Not all entrepreneurs in Scotland can apply for government grants and loans because there are qualifying conditions in place for each programme that limit the type of small business that can pursue their funding. Government grants and loans exist to help entrepreneurs with good ideas for a business become self employed, a goal that in turn helps grow the economy. Prospective applicants seeking government grants or loans for their small business in Scotland may need some assistance conducting the required research.
