Is it fraud to use government money in Scotland to fund a small business?

There is no reason why it is necessarily fraud to use money from the government in Scotland to fund a small business, since there are loans and grants for businesses to use for their needs each year. Make sure you know what your business will need to use the funding for by checking over your business plan and budget before you decide on which kind of grant or loan you may be able to use. This is because they are for their own purposes. There are also more government offers available throughout the United Kingdom.
