Does the United Kingdom government provide free small business loans?

Although the United Kingdom offers money to eligible applicants in the form of government small business grants rather than loans, this does not mean the money is free. A loan, by definition, is a financial funding programme that necessitates repayment, so it cannot be free. That said, it is possible for the loan to be guaranteed or interest free, which means you only need return the money you received rather than more, which evens things out.
