Grant applications are highly competitive, with limited funding available, so only the top-scoring applications succeed. To craft a strong application, we recommend starting at least 3 weeks before the deadline. In our experience, the most successful applications are developed over 6 weeks or more.
Grant funding is usually paid in arrears, meaning payments are made after the project has started. Payments are often issued quarterly or at key project milestones. For example, Innovate UK releases funds after approving quarterly project reports. A portion of the final payment is typically withheld until the project is fully completed.
Success rates depend on factors like eligibility, fund size, and competition levels. Specialised funding themes tend to be less competitive than open calls. Funding bodies often publish competition statistics, which can sometimes be accessed through freedom of information requests.
Yes, start-ups are generally eligible for grant funding. However, it’s crucial to review the specific eligibility criteria for each competition, as requirements can vary.
Yes, our grant writing fees are negotiable. We offer competitive pricing and may reduce costs if clients can help streamline the process (e.g., by saving time) without compromising the quality of the application.
Innovation is often defined as introducing new technology into an existing market or applying existing technology in a new market. Innovative projects build on the latest advancements and are typically novel, technically challenging, and involve some level of risk.
The required contribution varies by funding body and competition, typically ranging from 0% to 50% of the total project costs. Smaller companies (SMEs) usually contribute less than larger, established firms.
Writing a grant application is akin to crafting a short novel—it requires a compelling narrative that engages the reader from start to finish. A high-quality application is well-structured, clearly scoped, and provides the right information at the right time. Preparing a grant application involves multiple days of research, writing, editing, referencing, refining, and finalising. It’s a collaborative effort, and we recommend allowing at least 3-4 weeks to complete the process.
If your project includes work packages suitable for a university, you can collaborate with an academic partner. If you need help finding one, we can assist. Note that some funding opportunities may not be suitable for academic partners, or their budget allocation may be limited.
Absolutely! You can apply independently and still succeed. However, working with us gives you access to our expertise, proven track record, and saves you significant time.
Your application will be assessed and scored. You’ll receive a notification with your score and the outcome. If successful, you’ll need to complete additional tasks, such as providing financial evidence to demonstrate your ability to deliver the project.
