What is the best way to obtain grant funding for a business start up in the UK?

Some of the best options for obtaining a loan or grant for your small business start up are national, regional or local government agencies in the United Kingdom. Loans or grants may be offered by the United Kingdom government, as well as your local regional government. Grants tend to be free, and the loans offered by the government tend to have low interest rates and extended timeframe over which they may be paid back, in addition to guaranteed loans.
