How do small business loans from the British government compare to private loans?

Some British government small business loans are offered via banks in order to take advantage of the existing policies and structures. However, they usually have additional terms attached and/or have more favourable terms made possible by their involvement. The British government does this in a wide amount of ways. These may include acting as an applicant’s guarantor for small business loans obtained with the bank, or by matching the money provided by a bank’s small business loans. The UKStartups.org can assist you with researching and determining your British government small business loans options. Speak to one of our representatives by calling, freephone, 020 3880 8554.
