Can small business owners in Scotland avoid banking?

Scotland business owners may not be able to avoid banking altogether, but they can reduce its impact on their business in some cases. For example, there are grants and loans from the government that business owners can apply for to get the money that they need rather than relying on the bank to provide funds. Most of these choices have lower interest or no interest compared to bank loans, and they have different eligibility requirements.
