Are small business loan offers in South West better than grants?

Grants in South West are not necessarily better than loan programmes or other offers for small business needs, but the choice that is right for you and your business is not the same as the one that is best for other people and their businesses. Check the eligibility requirements and intended uses of the plans that are available to see which one is best for you. It is a good idea to consult your budget and business plan first so that you can find out what you need. For more information finding programmes at the regional level that you can use, fill out the form on our website or give us a call at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
