Should I use a growth hub or Every Grant?
Use both, for different reasons. A growth hub is local advisers, usually free, who know schemes that never make a national list. Every Grant is a published check you can run before that conversation, from a postcode. The hub does not file a grant for you. Every Grant does not either, unless you pay the fixed fee for a draft, and even then you file it.

| What it is | Local advisers | A catalogue check |
| Price to talk or look | Usually free | Free |
| Writes the form | Not as a rule | Fixed fee, if you ask |
Will the hub have funds this site does not?
Often, yes. Discretionary local funds and short windows are the gap. Take the check with you and ask what it missed.
Does a growth hub charge a percentage?
The advice is normally free. A private broker introduced afterwards may not be. Ask who is paid, and from what, before you sign.

68 answers on this site. Every Grant checks which UK grants a business can get from a postcode or a place. Looking is free. If you want the application written, the fee is fixed and shown before you pay: £450, £850, £1,450 or £2,200, set by the size of the award. Every Grant does not take a percentage of the grant, does not file the form, and is not part of GOV.UK. Confirm every scheme on the funder's own site.
