Does the government provide any financial help for new businesses in the UK?

The government offers help for new small businesses if they apply and are eligible to receive it. For example, the government does not give new small businesses money for no reason, but it does offer loans and grants for small business needs. The owners of small businesses can apply for these assistance programmes and use the money for things like advertising, purchasing supplies and machinery, and hiring employees.
