Grant & Funding Service

Grants and Financial Incentives Service

Everyone knows that there are grants and financial incentives available to businesses in the most impoverished areas of Europe. These are geared at rejuvenating these hard-pressed places. What most people don’t know is where those areas are and what is available to businesses that don’t fall within the catchment areas. Most businessmen also have an inherent mistrust of grants and the bodies that administer them. There is a general belief that they are more trouble than they are worth with too many hoops to jump through, too many conditions attached and too much paperwork and red tape. This might be true for some grants but there is usually something for every business that can add a useful fillip to your cashflow.

We help you by identifying what you might be eligible for and then, if you wish, we can help you secure the funding by assisting in the preparation of the bid. Generally speaking, the earlier on in the process we are involved the more likely you are to get the maximum levels of assistance that are available.

We can help with grants for:

Capital purchases.
Green / Renewable Energy Projects.
IT.
Premises – New & re-development of existing sites.
Staff Training.
Research & Development.
Product Launches.
Recruitment.
Advertising.

On top of this there are various schemes to enable you to get the finance you need to grow your business. These schemes are often linked in with the grant system so the entire package might involve some grant funding, some cheap loans or underwritten financing or a mixture of them all.

If you work with us we can often get you something and with much less involvement than if you were to 'go it alone' and you get the confidence of using a recognised leader in grant and funding applications.

What is it?
The grant service offered by Montagu Pryce will help you develop your project from conception to implementation always with an eye to getting the most out of the publicly funded bodies that can assist you. You need to be aware that the general rule of thumb is that if a project won't go ahead without assistance and that if the project is going to have a material benefit to the local (ideally impoverished) economy then assistance is more likely. Your project must conform to a lot of criteria and this is why most businessmen believe that it's more hassle than it's worth, but with the correct approach your project can be moulded from the outset to maximise your chances of getting assistance and getting it at the highest possible levels.
  • We will help with business plans, identifying the relevant agencies and bodies and the schemes that can offer the greatest levels of support.
  • We help with the application writing and the full submission and supporting evidence requirements.
  • We ensure that the project meets the requirements and that the deliverables are correctly measured, reported and rewarded.
  • In short we manage your application from the beginning to the last payment being made to your account.

How does it Work?
When you have a project in the very initial stages of development you contact us and we get involved. In the beginning this will mean that we offer guidance on how to go about structuring the project and what deliverables should be included - for instance this might be the creation of new jobs, the training of staff, the redevelopment of certain redundant buildings or research into a new green technology. We will take your figures and ideas and transform them into a fully prepared case for grant support and funding and we will submit the documentation to the relevant bodies and be present at any interviews that are requested. Once the application has been accepted we will manage it to ensure the payouts occur in line with expectations and that no opportunities are missed to maximise the returns.

By keeping abreast of the very latest in grant news we can ensure that your project qualifies for the maximum levels of assistance and we have the expertise to help you get it.


How much will I be able to get?
This will very much depend upon where you are, what type of business you run, the nature of the project, the expected deliverables and net benefit to the awarding bodies. In short this is a completely unique amount to each and every business and project. However much we secure for you it will in all likelhood be far in excess of what you could achieve yourselves as we are experts in this field.

It might be that we get you 30% grant funding for the project with additional sums payable on the successful employment of new staff and some grant aid for R&D into a new technology or process coupled with a training package for existing and new staff or it might be that we set up some cheap funding to supplement your own investment. More likely it will be a mixture of some or all of these and the package as a whole will be far reaching and worthwhile.


How do I get my Grant Review?
In the first instance give us a call or use our 'Contact' page, we will have a chat with you and assess what the chances of success are and whether we can help. We will offer completely FREE and impartial advice. If you want to take it further after our initial discussion we will take more detailed information about the project and come up with a proposed schedule that will show the work we will need to undertake and an estimated cost implication for this work. At this point we will ask you to sign our agreement and once received we will appoint a case manager to deal with your project and start putting together the submission.

How much will it cost me?
For the initial consultation it is FREE. After this point we will charge a mix of time based and outcome reliant fees. It is very much up to you as to which fee model you prefer to adopt - a percentage payment on success, a daily rate fee or a mixture of the two. We are flexible and will apply whichever best suits your circumstances.
  • Consortium members will get a discount on the daily rate of 25% and will receive the same level of rebate on any outcome dependent fees that are to be levied.
  • Non consortium members will pay the full daily fee and outcome dependent rates as the prevail at the time of signing the contract.
Whichever fee structure you choose and whether you are a consortium member we guarantee that not you will never pay more than the amount we manage to get for you.
