Can I receive both grants and loans from the government for the same business?

It is very possible that you may be able to receive both grants and loans for the same small business. However you shouldn’t count on funding before you have been approved for it. Government funding is highly competitive, since many small business owners in the UK are fighting for the same programs. There are no restrictions that claim that if you receive a loan from the government you can’t also receive a grant or visa versa, however you should note that it will be hard to get this much funding.
