u can get a grant and a loan u have to do a plan and it goes infront of the trust and they deciede how much ect. grant is for keeps loan u pay back but not for first 6 months i think or something similar. the course i went on was run by local job centre they were the ones who gave advice on insurance, property, laws ect
