Does the United Kingdom government provide small business funding and assistance other than grants?

The United Kingdom government also provides small business loans and other types of funding programmes for small business owners and entrepreneurs. It is important to know what you are looking for before seeking funding, as the best offers available vary depending on your situation. You can get a loan in less time than it takes to apply for a grant, but a grant does not need to be paid back, whereas most loans do. Most government loans do have better interest rates and terms than bank loans, and they have different prerequisite conditions too, so even if you have been rejected by the bank before you may have a chance.
