What are the best South West grant programmes for an entrepreneur like me?

The best South West grant programmes available will depend on what you need the money for. There are no programmes that are the best for everyone, as each are offered for a specific purpose and have different eligibility terms. The best one for you will be one that you qualify for that can be spent on what you need. It is useful to find one that is provided at the regional tier rather than the national tier as well, as there is generally more competition for national grants because they are open to everyone within the nation. If you do find a grant that you are interested in you can apply for them by writing a proposal to the programme you are applying for, and the winning proposal will be selected. The writer of the winning proposal will receive the money. Learn more by filling out the form on our website. You may also call us at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
