What advantages do the United Kingdom government loans for small businesses have versus grants?

Despite grants being much like free money because they need not be paid back, unlike small business government loans, they also tend to be harder to qualify for. Government loans, on the other hand, generally provide funds that your small business may use more broadly and with fewer restrictions than grants despite the funds they provide having to be paid back.
