Is a government grant available to start a new business in Edinburgh?

There may be a grant you can use to start a new small business in Edinburgh, but it is a wise thing to have a backup plan as well, as the grants for new small business are less prevalent than the grants for existing small businesses If you do not find a grant in your local area, consider a regional or national level offer. There are intended uses and eligibility conditions for each grant, so be certain you take these into account when choosing the programme that is ideal for your individual needs. If there are no grants that will work for you, consider a small business loan from the government. These are normally more favourable than bank loans.
