Our Services

Our team is managing R&D grant funding for some of the most innovative businesses and research institutions across the UK and EU.

Looking to leverage a recent funding raise with grant funding? Seeking to improve your success rate in winning grant funding? Need to scale rapidly by reducing your time to market?  

Our services are designed for scaling businesses with ambitious R&D projects. Innovation is expensive and founders should be able to keep their equity until they are in the strongest position to negotiate favourable terms. 

Our team has secured over £100m in R&D grant funding from UK and European funders. Each of our senior innovation consultants and grant writers has over 15 years’ experience, giving you the best possible chance of securing significant non-dilutive funding. When you work with us, you’re not taking a chance on grant funding, you’re making a strategic investment with a proven team behind you.

We understand the challenges you are facing

Scaling an R&D-intensive business is rarely straightforward. If any of these sound familiar, you’re in the right place:

  • You have multiple R&D projects that all need funding, but no overarching grant strategy to prioritise and pursue them.
  • Your team has written grant applications internally before and either struggled to find the time or didn’t get the result you needed.
  • You’ve recently secured equity funding and want to leverage it with non-dilutive funding, but are unsure where to start.
  • The UK and European funding landscape is vast and complex, and identifying the right opportunities for your specific technology and sector takes time you don’t have.
  • You need to move at pace because your R&D roadmap won’t wait, and neither will your competitors.
  • You have a track record of internal bids that haven’t succeeded and you know that evaluator-focused writing and strategic framing from an experienced team would make a significant difference to your success rate.
  • You’re keen to explore collaborative, cross-border R&D projects, but lack the international network and experience needed to build the right consortium and navigate multi-partner grant programmes.

R&D Grant Funding Management

Outsource your R&D Grant Funding Management.
For scaling businesses and established midcaps with multiple R&D projects competing for resource and funding. We act as your outsourced grant funding team; building your funding strategy, identifying the right opportunities, writing proposals and managing live projects, so your internal team can stay focused on delivery.

R&D Grant Funding Search and Strategy

Matching relevant R&D funding for your innovation projects.
Businesses often have more fundable R&D activity than they realise. We map your innovation pipeline against the full UK and European funding landscape, identify the opportunities with the strongest fit, and help you build a long-term, strategic funding roadmap, not just a one-off application.

Grant Writing

Our fully managed, end-to-end grant writing service.
Scaling fast means internal capacity is always stretched. Our senior grant writers, each with over 15 years’ experience, take the full writing burden off your team, producing evaluator-focused proposals that articulate your technical ambition and commercial potential with the clarity and credibility that wins funding.

Grant Project Management

Helping you to manage live grant-funded projects.
Managing a live grant-funded project alongside a rapidly scaling business is a significant administrative burden. We handle reporting obligations, consortium relationships, deliverable tracking and funder communications; keeping your project compliant and your funding secure while your team concentrates on growth.

Grant Application Review

Improve on an existing R&D funding application.
If your internal team has written a draft or you’ve had previous unsuccessful bids, our senior consultants will review your application against funder criteria, identify the gaps, and provide clear, actionable recommendations. For scaleups and midcaps with strong R&D programmes, a weak proposal is the most avoidable reason to lose funding.

A trusted ecosystem built around your success

Winning a grant is one thing. Making the most of it is another. Over the years we’ve built a network of specialist partners who work alongside us to help our clients navigate every stage of the R&D funding journey: from tax credits and IP protection to consortium agreements and project management tools.

If you need match funding, want to claim RDECs alongside your grant, need legal support for a collaboration agreement, or want to present your innovation compellingly on video, our partners have you covered.
