Can the government help me if I need money for my small business?

If your small business is in need of money, I suggest you consider applying for a government loan that can help you cover costs. Government loans are quicker to apply for than grants, and are better in many instances than bank loans. They usually have better terms, more favourable interest rates, and more flexible repayment schedules than bank loans, not to mention different eligibility terms. This means that even if you have been rejected by the bank before when seeking funding, you may have a chance to get a government loan. If you know how much money you need and what you need it for, get started on your search today by filling out the form on our web site or by calling us at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
