GRA - Terms of Business

Welcome to GRA Ltd

Growth Resourcing Associates Ltd is pleased to welcome you, and hopes you will bookmark this site as an important business resource you will wish to return to over and over.

The aim of the site is to provide up to date informed information which Business Owners, Managers an and their Advisors can utilise to consider the best funding sources to facilitate their business planning at the earliest stages.

Capital Resources, particularly if given FREE as the gift of UK Government, are always hard to find - it is therefore wise to consult GRA Ltd directly at the earliest opportunity.

But first, all the funding resources on this site should be perused so as to get a clearer idea of the resource which seems most appropriate.

To do this will require registration so as to gain entry to the whole site - this process will not take many minutes, and the information imparted will be held by GRA in strict commercial confidentiality, and not disclosed without authority.

GRA's TERMS of BUSINESS

GRA is happy to provide one-off, or on-going answers to the what if questions posed when considering the funding of proposed investment or other business expansion projects: CAN we get a grant? What FUNDING sources are available? Am I eligible for grant aid? Initial advice is FREE.

No fees are incurred by initial enquiries where these are by email in the first instance, or (in larger cases) by face to face meeting. GRA will always try to give a considered and useful response. Please give fullest information which will be treated in strict commercial confidence.

Since we do not take cases unless we believe them winnable in our care, the applicable fee structure to a new client case will be set out in writing for signed agreement prior to formal engagement of GRA Ltd

Application Fees are charged largely on a success fee basis, but a good faith payment will be required at the outset of Funding Application Preparation based upon the lowest grant sum which GRA confidently forecasts as possible if the case is undertaken using their professional guidance and where all negotiation with officials is undertaken by GRA.

With a long experience of solution finding at Boardroom level right across British Business, the addition of more than 17 years experience of the UK grant regime has complimented a natural ability to bring an overall creativity to maintaining a successful record of funding projects of all sizes to enable and facilitate strategic approaches to investment within the grant eligible areas of the UK by GRA' s disparate clients.

As well as taking a more senior role, after some years with GRA covering the West Midlands, Roger Wright continues to bring his most diligent approach to bear to achieve the best successes possible in pursuit of large grant awards for those clients of GRA who are seeking maximum GBI grants (or RSA in N Wales)to assist their investment plans come to the best possible implementation and fruition.

Keith Bushnell
Area Applications Director
South Wales

From a background of managing a healthcare plc, Keith Bushnell, brings experience and understanding to add to his diagnostic skills as a multi disciplined professional in the attainment of helping to make a case for substantial RSA grant aid; and adds to GRA's team of expertise to help clients through the minefield of the grant application process.

Ian Lowe
Area Applications Director
West Midlands /N West

Ian Lowe brings to bear many years experience of management and business development in both Construction and all aspects of General Manufacturing Industry with the prospect of fruitful results by way of the successfully argued applications by GRA to attain large GBI grant awards to help in the expansion of his personal GRA client portfolio.

Doug McNeill with a record of success in the Business to Business consultancy field brings a background of strong analytical, problem solving, and creative strategic thinking to his role at GRA. Add in his passion for customer care, and quality results, and an enthusiastic expectation to find the best arguments for grant aid and his clients can be assured of maximum funding by means of GBI or RSA (in Scotland) for their projects.

Led by Roger Davies, and with a background of direct involvement with DBERR, local Regional Development Agencies, and other Regional Government and Economic Departments, the continuing success of GRA's Applications Team members remain as the driving force and engine house within a back office function and private and confidential area for the benefit of all GRA's clients.

In over seventeen years, we have never lost a case although from time to time we have been involved in some very tough negotiations to ensure an outcome of recognition of our client's case for grant support.

Of course, it has to be recognised that we do not take on a case unless we feel confident that we can win on behalf of our client. It is this aspect, that has underpinned GRA's continuing success story.
