Research and development (R&D) grant funding has never been more competitive. Equally, the state of our post-lockdown economy makes financial aid more valuable than ever.
Together, these factors reveal the value of professional guidance when it comes to producing a stand-out grant proposal.
In the early stages of research & development, it’s vital that companies can invest into advancing their product or service. So, many SMEs rely on grant funding to secure the means to elevate their project.
But gaining access to this beneficial scheme is not as simple as you might hope.
Competition for grant funding is at an all-time high, with a huge influx of companies all going after the same pot of funds. Whilst many SMEs try their chances with multiple one-size-fits-all applications, they key to success lies in tailor-made details that meet distinct competition criteria.
But how can you fulfil criteria that isn’t readily available to you?
That’s where consulting an expert grant writer can help!
We'd like to introduce our group company, GrantEd.

Oh, and FYI - if you've already got at least one year's worth of r & d under your belt, you could reclaim up to 33% of R&D spending through the UK's R&D Tax Credit scheme. At Claim Capital, this is where we shine. Get in touch with our specialists to see how much you could be owed.
The best news of all is that you can use grant funding and R&D Tax Credits on the same project!
That's financial aid at both ends of the R&D process. Sound too good to be true? We promise, it's not! But the rules here are a little more complex.
