Does the UK government offer traditional small business loan programmes?

The government makes available small business loan programmes, and some of these programmes can be used for what people consider traditional business expenses. However, government loans usually have lower interest rates than traditional bank loans, and may not even need to be repaid. They also have different eligibility terms from loan to loan, which some people who have been rejected by the bank or have bad credit or no credit.
