What Is A Grant?

Grant is simply a fund given to an individual to support his/her business growth without the individual necessarily having to pay back which also means it does not attract collateral.  Grants are given by Large organizations, governments, Nongovernmental organizations, and wealthy individuals for various purposes. Unlike loans, you do not have to pay back.

Difference between Grants and Loans

Most times, people mistake grants for loans but we know the below explanation will give you a better understanding of both.

A Grant is simply a subsidy that is given to either organization or to individuals, which usually comes in the form of money or in the form of support, which cannot be returned. that is to say, a grant cannot be repaid, it is not like a loan that you will have to repay after some months which may attract you to lose your property or whatever you used for collateral.

A loan is money given to you which is meant to be repaid and in most cases, it attracts an interest rate and also collateral which the lender will hold in case you did not payback.
