You’re here because:
- Grants keep being suggested by advisors, investors, or peers — and you’re not sure if they’re relevant to you
- You’ve looked into it but can’t tell whether your business actually qualifies
- You don’t want to spend three months on an application that was never going to succeed
- You want a decision, not encouragement
Three stages. You only go as far as your project warrants.
Everything starts with Stage 1. Stages 2 and 3 are only available after a clear YES result — that’s intentional.
Grant Reality Check
A fast external check to decide whether grants are worth pursuing right now. Not a sales call. A decision checkpoint.
- Clear verdict: yes / not yet / no
- What funders would push back on
- What would need to change
- A clear next step — including stopping
Grant-Ready Blueprint
Only available after a Stage 1 YES. Turns a broad idea into a fundable project — or confirms it shouldn’t be attempted yet.
- Clear project scope and measurable outcomes
- Budget logic funders will find credible
- Which scheme, which round, when to apply
- No writing pressure. No obligation to proceed.
Application Support
End-to-end support for businesses ready to apply. Offered selectively — only where we believe the project is strong enough.
- Narrative review and stress-test
- Project description and financials structure
- Writing support in selected cases
- Success fee option on high-confidence cases
What the answer shapes
Grants stop being a background distraction. You can focus on what actually moves the business forward right now.
You know exactly what needs to change. Some businesses come back six months later with a fundable project.
You move forward deliberately — with a clear plan rather than months of optimism and a rejected application at the end.
Who this works for
- UK businesses with active R&D, product innovation, or market expansion work underway
- Considering Innovate UK, UKRI, Horizon Europe, or a sector-specific scheme
- Being pushed toward grants by advisors or investors and not sure whether to act
- Previously rejected and want to understand why before trying again
- No R&D component — looking for general business funding
- Looking for grant writing without wanting to understand the strategic picture first
What makes this different
Most grant consultants start by searching for grants and fitting your business around them. We start the other way round.
The Grant Reality Check exists to answer one honest question: does this business have a fundable project right now? Most don’t — and finding that out for £129 is far cheaper than spending three months on an application that fails.
We earn more from Stage 2 and Stage 3 work. Which means we only take on clients where we believe the answer is genuinely yes. We have no incentive to tell you what you want to hear.
GrantPal also runs a free grant monitoring service, sending three tailored grant opportunities to UK businesses every month. The advisory side exists for businesses that want to go further than monitoring.
