Are all small business loan programmes in Edinburgh for commercial use?

Although it is possible to work the system to get some Edinburgh government small business loan programmes to help you in other ways. These may include using a loan for your home based small to help pay for some necessary renovations, in general these small business loan funds are for commercial use. Unlike UK small business loan programmes, Edinburgh loan funds focus on interests within the city such as businesses that will bring jobs and / or revenue into Edinburgh’s economy rather than elsewhere in the UK.
