How do business loans offered by the Northern Ireland government compare to those offered by banks?

The Northern Ireland government does provide small business loans to stimulate its economy rather than to make money, as is the case with banks and other private lenders. As such, it can afford to offer better interest rates and more extended payment schedules that offer a better chance of the money being put to good use. Banks tend to have higher interest rates and inflexible timetables because they are not as concerned with your success, but rather only with seeing their money returned at a profit.
