Can women starting a business of their own apply for UK government grants?

The United Kingdom encourages qualified women with strong small business plans to become self employed by starting their own small business. Not only are women able to apply for most of the grant programmes that men can apply for, but there are often a number of programmes designed specifically to help women achieve their dreams of owning a small business. Many applicants who do not qualify for grants can often receive loans instead.
