Should I use Find Grants or a growth hub adviser?
Use both, for different jobs. A growth hub adviser sits locally and hears about funds that never reach a national list. Find Grants is a published check you can run before that meeting, from a postcode, with the funder one click away. The adviser does not award the money. Neither does Find Grants. If you want a draft, that is £99 here, and you still file it.

| Growth hub | Find Grants | |
|---|---|---|
| Price to look | Usually free | Free |
| What you get | A local conversation | A catalogue check and official links |
| A written application | Not usually | £99, then you file it |
Will the lists match?
Not line for line. That is a reason to use both, not a reason to trust the longer list without opening the official page.
