  • Three government-backed loan schemes are available for UK businesses.
  • Bounce back loan scheme is for the smallest businesses.
  • Larger entities can consider the business interruption loan schemes.
  • Businesses should consider their current and future cash needs.
  • Other government grants may also be available.
