In this scheme cash funding is offered for a project with the intention that the cash is paid out of future revenues. However, the main part of this grant is that if the project fails, the grant is written off completely with no risk to yourself.

Soft loan

A soft loan is a special type of grant where the terms and conditions of repayment are softer than they would be under normal financial circumstances. So, for example, the interest rates may be less, or there may be no interest to pay at all, and the repayment terms could also be for a longer period, depending on your financial situation.

Equity finance

With equity finance a capital sum is injected into the business and the provider of the funds takes an equity share of the enterprise and when the value of the business increases the cash that was injected can then be returned. However, unlike venture capitalists, the expectations and requirements of the providers of public funds are usually less demanding, thus giving less experienced business men less to worry about.
