Can someone that has already received government money still apply for small business loans and grants?

Typically, receiving money previously should not prevent you from being able to apply for more small business loans and grants. In fact, it may actually make it easier for you because the grant money can be used to show a level of capital already invested in your small business, which most lenders are delighted to see. Using small business loans in conjunction with grants can alleviate a lot of risks for start-up costs, or benefit an existing small business with their operating expenses.
