Do most small business ventures need to apply for government start up loans?

Up front capital to open a start up small business without seeking financial assistance is not common, so many would be small business owners try to qualify for small business loans within their effort to open their companies. While the government does what it can to assist new small business owners in acquiring the capital they need to achieve their small business dreams, you will generally need to meet approval for a loan by showing a strong small business plan, a stable credit history and often show that you do have cash on hand.
