Are government loans and grants the best way to fund a new business in London?

A number of small business loans and grants, especially if provided by the national government, are rarely limited to a single city such as London. However, if a prospective small business owner does find a grant or a loan programme geared specifically toward bringing small business to London, may have an easier time attaining the funding they seek. As for which is better, grants tend to have more restrictions on their use while loans must be paid back, generally with interest. The applicant must determine which would be more appropriate for their needs. Our experienced representatives are eager to assist you, and you can reach them by phone at 020 3880 8554.
