Can a South East grant provide funding for an overseas start up?

South East grant funds are provided at the regional level, and normally cannot be used for funding for an overseas start up. Some regional grant choices may be able to help open branches of businesses overseas, but it is unlikely that such a programme will help you open a company outside the region. For any funding offer you are considering, be sure to pay attention to the eligibility requirements and intended uses so that you can tell if it will work for you or not. To get more information about funding for South East, London residents can use government grants and loans for their small business needs. There are programmes that are for specific industries as well as choices that are more general. Some help pay for the cost of new machinery or equipment, some for hiring or training employees, some for repairs or renovations, some for advertising costs, and more. Be sure to note the eligibility requirements and intended uses of the choices that you find to pick one that will work for you.
