Are grants or loans in Edinburgh better?

There is no such thing as better as far as grants or loans are concerned. The programmes are all different, and grants and loans from the government which are offered annually will be able to help different individuals and business owners that seek them. Each choice has its own eligibility requirements and intended uses. So, begin your search by checking these details. You can then eliminate the programmes that do not suit your needs and further narrow your search based on terms, and for loans, the interest rates and repayment schedules.
