Funding & Grants: Your Questions Answered

How much time should I allocate to prepare a high-quality grant application?

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.

How is government grant funding typically disbursed?

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.

What are my chances of securing grant funding?

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.

Are start-ups eligible to apply for grant funding?

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.

Are your grant writing fees flexible?

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.

What qualifies as an innovative project for grant funding?

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.

How much does my company need to contribute to a grant-funded project?

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.

How much effort is involved in preparing a grant application?

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.

How can I include an academic partner in my project?

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.

Can I apply for a grant on my own?

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.

Q11: What happens after I submit my grant application?

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.

Q12: Where can I find the latest grant funding opportunities?

Grant opportunities are frequently updated as competitions open and close. To stay informed, follow funding bodies or subscribe to our Grant Opportunities Newsletter for the latest updates.
