Is a loan in Scotland for expansion necessarily fraud?

There are loan programmes for expansion in Scotland, so just because you see an expansion loan does not mean it is a fraud. Since various loans are provided each year and they also change within the year it can be difficult to check each offer you find against an accurate list of the programmes out there to see if it is legitimate or not. If you have any questions it is a good idea to enlist the help of a professional before you begin applying for the loan so you can ensure you do not give any information to a fraudulent enterprise.
