What should a well-prepared entrepreneur do while applying for a small business government loan?

There are a number of books or free online resources you may want to consider that tell you how to put together a well-prepared small business plan in general, although contacting someone at the United Kingdom government department or agency providing the small business loan you are applying for may result in some more specific advice. Be certain you take all possible steps, however, as a well-prepared small business plan and / or proposal can make the difference between getting the small business loan you need or walking away empty handed. UKStartups.org can assist you with evaluating your options. Speak to one of our representatives by calling, freephone, 020 3880 8554 or use our site’s contact form.
