How can I receive free business loans and grants?

You may have a chance to receive small business loans and grants if you apply for ones that you are eligible for. However, no government loans or grants you may receive are actually going to be free. If you need money for your small business, decide about how much you need and what you want to spend it on. If you need funding quickly it may be best to apply for a loan. Grants can be very useful. However, take time to write a proposal to, and only the winning proposal is awarded the money. Grants do not require repayment, however. So, they can be worth the extra effort.
