Are all forms of UK government small business loans, grants, financing of other sorts the same?

There are differences between UK government small business loan, grants, financing programmes of other sorts because of how they are used and what they are intended to do. Although grants for business may be limited within their overall utility, they do have the attractive feature of not having to be paid back, as long as you did not misappropriate the funds that were allocated to you. A small business loan tends to allow more discretion in how the government money is spent, but requires repayment of the funds they provide, quite often with additional interest attached.
