Does the United Kingdom government provide grants for first time small business owners in Scotland?

The United Kingdom government gives out small business loans and grants to many entrepreneurs, including those in Scotland who are eligible and apply, many of which are in fact first time small business owners. Such loans and grants encourage young the United Kingdom to pursue their dreams of owning a small business of their own. Also, local, regional, governments may have similar programmes available for those desiring to start a small business, as may the local Scotland government. Rather than focusing on whether it is the applicants first time pursuing a small business, the grants programme will be interested within the small business owners small business plan and, by extension, the viability of the small business itself.
