What is the difference between regonial and national government business grants?

Regonial small business grants usually have a many more limitations on how they may be used, as well as likely offering less money than may be provided by national government grants due to the latter’s larger budget. However, the regional grant is almost sure to have fewer qualified applicants, and that makes it worth watching and applying for. Regional grants can be very beneficial, at times trumping the usefulness of the national grant. The most important thing, however, is to find the best route to the funding you need.
