Here’s everything you should know about UK business funding
Looking for UK business funding? At Discover Grants, we strive to help businesses find funding. Whether you’re an individual, freelancer, SME, or a large corporation, we can provide you with the tools you need.
Where can you find UK business funding?
To find UK business funding, you can start off by using a search engine. Google, for example, will bring up countless sites that may feature grant opportunities. However, this could take a long time – hours in fact. Another issue is that these websites will have opportunities all over the place. They may not have deadline dates in obvious places. This means you’ll need to read through a lot of documents to find it. If the deadline is too soon, then all this time has been wasted.
What if there was a way to streamline the process? Turns out, there is! Discover Grants have a grant tracking portal where you can stay up to date with opportunities. Our team of Opportunity Trackers manually upload grants to the portal daily. We also don’t use algorithms or CPV codes, so the funding on our portal will always be categorised correctly. You will never miss an opportunity!
Discover Grants Elite
With Discover Grants Elite, you’ll also be able to have a dedicated Account Manager to find opportunities for you. They will handle all the portal management such as registration, downloading documents, and assessing viability. You’ll be able to have weekly phone calls to discuss opportunities you may be interested in. You’ll also get breakdowns of grant writing services. This is if you choose to let us handle the grant writing stage of the funding as well. Keep reading for more on how Grant Writers can help you win funding.
How can Grant Writers help you win UK business funding?
1. Expert advice and mentorship
There are many ways Grant Writers can support you when trying to win UK business funding. Firstly, they can offer you support in terms of seeing if you are eligible for funding. They can also offer services to review a grant application you have completed. This is a great way to see how the funder may view your application before it is actually submitted. The main way professional Grant Writers can help is through writing your application for you.
2. Grant Writers save you time
By entrusting a grant application to a Grant Writer, you can focus on your usual responsibilities. This way, you are not stressed and distracted, trying to juggle responsibilities and workloads. You can continue your usual job whilst a Grant Writer handles the workload for you.
3. Grant Writers have unmatched writing and communication skills
As you may have guessed, Grant Writers are experts at what they do – which is writing. They have honed their skills to ensure they deliver work of the highest standard. Communication skills are also really important for grant applications. It is crucial that the application is clear and concise. It also needs to be persuasive. You need to assure the reader that you are the perfect fit for the funding.
One part that is often overlooked is the editing stage. It is so important for a grant application to be proofread and edited several times. This is to ensure all mistakes are rectified and the application is of the highest standard. You will not impress the reader if your work is full of mistakes. Our Grant Writers go through a very thorough proofreading stage to ensure we catch any and all errors.
4. Grant Writers understand the importance of grant management
Sometimes UK business funding applications can be short and sweet, but usually they are complex. If you are unfamiliar with them, it can feel overwhelming to attempt to complete it yourself. Grant Writers have enough experience to know exactly how to approach the project. They will break the application down into manageable chunks and dictate a timeframe for each part to be completed by. This is an excellent way of keeping on track and ensuring nothing is missed or forgotten at the last minute. It is crucial that the documents are read thoroughly so that no important details or dates are missed. This also means everything will get finished before the deadline, so there’s no last-minute rushes. This will result in unnecessary stress and could even lead to mistakes that could cost you the funding!
