Is there a difference between free national government small business grants and regional government grants?

The biggest differences between regional and national free government grants are the scope of the grants and their amounts. Typically, a national grant will allow you a much broader usage base for a given grant, applying anywhere within the nation, unless it has been specifically legislated to aid a certain region. Regional grants are generally intended to be used within that regional alone, which is logical, given that the funding for them comes from regional revenues instead.
