UK regional funding guide
Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly business grants and support routes
Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly funding searches need careful location and delivery checks. A programme described as regional does not automatically cover every island, postcode or type of business expenditure.

What FundingLens helps you do
Keep source facts, caveats and next actions together so your team can decide what deserves attention before application work starts.
Start with Cornwall Council's business support information and the current growth-hub referral route. Record whether the investment takes place in Cornwall or the Isles of Scilly and ask the delivery body to confirm the applicable programme boundary.
For rural or premises investments, separate ordinary business costs from capital improvements and document permissions, delivery access and procurement. Check whether the named funding pot is still accepting applications instead of carrying forward a historic UKSPF or rural-fund allocation.
If an older page mentions the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, check the named delivery programme's current status. England's 2026 Local Growth Fund settlement is not a UK-wide replacement grant application and must not be applied to Scotland or Wales. Keep announcements, authority allocations and applicant offers separate.
Readiness checks
- Island or mainland investment site specified.
- Programme geography confirmed in writing where unclear.
- Capital, access and delivery costs separated.
- Current scheme page saved with the date checked.
- Written approval obtained before expenditure where required.
Eligibility caveats
- This is a route-finding guide, not a claim that a grant is open today.
- Funding availability, delivery boundaries and deadlines can change.
- Confirm award conditions and subsidy treatment with the actual awarding body.
