Private sector funding

We have helped businesses secure millions of pounds in funding to enable to purchase new equipment, refurbish premises or move to new premises. We are experienced in securing grants from local, regional, national and international sources.

We have a thorough knowledge of grants available to businesses, and the eligibility criteria that need to be met. We have a full understanding what makes a compelling application, and are happy to work alongside your team, or take full ownership of the application process on your behalf.

Our funding service for businesses is outlined below:

Step 1: Funding review

We review open funds to identify options and highlight funds that best align to your aims.

Step 2: Eligibility check

We review the detailed eligibility criteria of identified funds and confirm whether your organisation and your proposed scheme are eligible for support.

Step 3: Quote

We provide a no-obligation, fixed price quote for completing the application. We are happy to take the lead or work alongside your team and reflect the approach in our quote.

Step 4: Bid writing

We write compelling applications and business cases based on a thorough knowledge of our clients’ organisations and schemes.

Step 5:Appraisal and contracting support

We assist our clients to respond to queries in the appraisal process and offer informal guidance and support on the funding contract.

In addition to writing applications, we are also retained by a number of public sector organisations to appraise grant funding applications from businesses. We therefore have an inside track on what makes a successful application.

A summary of some of the grant funding schemes that we have helped businesses access is provided below.
