Does the UK government only offer grants to large corporations or can small businesses also apply?

The UK government does not offer funding, grants, or otherwise, only to large small business enterprises. These may include corporations. In point of fact, the UK government has far more funding programmes in place to assist small and medium small business ventures, especially in the form of loans and grants funding programmes from the national, regional, and local government entities. This money is not free, however, and a small business must qualify to receive small business grants from the UK government.
