Are guaranteed government loans or grants the better choice for my small business?

Although guaranteed government loans are often considered amongst the best possible loan options, they still need to be repaid to meet the terms of the funding agreement, whereas small business grants are often mistaken for free money. Government grants are generally amongst the most difficult funds to get so, in many cases, guaranteed loans may be the better of the two options simply because of the greater chance of a small business applicant successfully receiving the needed funds.
