Are most British government grant programmes intended to be used for small business expansion?

Most British government grant programmes may somehow allow for help with small business expansion, but this is not necessarily what their expressed, intended purpose is specifically for. However each loan and grant has its own set conditions that have to be met. A small business owner looking for funding by way of a grant would have to make application for such and meet all of the conditions set out for that particular funding.
