Are South East government grants or loans better for small business financing?

Neither loans nor government grants are better in all cases for South East small business owners, as all the grants and loans are different and suit some people better than others. If you are in a hurry or do not have a lot of time to devote to applying for funding, a government loan may be the better option. If you know exactly what you need to use the funding for and have more time to write a proposal, a grant may work for you. When seeking funding from a grant or loan it is important to notice the intended uses and eligibility requirements, and compare these details with your situation to find an offer that will meet your needs.
