Supporting you through the funding process

Category: Technology - Posted On: Sep 19 2019


The grant funding process can require total project costs and details of the amount of funding that is required, along with a breakdown of the projects work, timescales and potential future benefits that will arise on completion of the project. This can be time consuming and if not completed correctly, and on time, can delay or even stop any funding application from being successfully obtained. This can be disastrous for companies who rely on funding to survive, like games studios and those working in the life science sectors.

Our Technology team have supported many clients through the funding process, and have experience in assisting with grant claim applications and audits. They are therefore in a position to highlight other potential costs that may not have been thought of by the client but would be covered by the grant.

Our clients, WRLD, were looking to secure additional business support by way of grant funding from Scottish Enterprise and asked our Technology team to support them through the application process. To assist our client, they spent a couple of hours at their premises with the key research and finance staff in order to gain an understanding of the project, and the processes that would be involved, so that we were in a position to identify the costs associated with this.

Once the grant application was submitted, they were part of further discussions with Scottish Enterprise in order to secure the grant funding. Having worked with Scottish Enterprise on numerous projects, our Technology specialists have developed a good working relationship with their team. This ensured that the application process was as smooth as possible for our clients and they were able to utilise the grant funding available.
