Which is a better source of grant funding, the national or regional government funding programmes?

There is no easy answer to the question of which is a better source of grant funding, the national or regional grant programmes because relevance varies depending upon your circumstances. The grant programmes offered by the different regional governments vary amongst themselves and are not invariably comparable, while also covering more region based interests than may be touched upon by national small business grant funding. To know which source of grant funding best suits you, you should consider preparing a small business plan or talking to a professional who frequently deals with government funding concerns. If you believe you may benefit from speaking with a professional representative specialized in government funding, contact UKStartups.org by calling, freephone, 020 3880 8554 or by filling out the contact form on the sites main page.
