GRANT APPLICATIONS through GRA

Growth Resourcing Associates Ltd specialises in preparing winning grant applications usually for Selective Finance for Investment (SFI) in England, and Regional Selective Assistance (RSA) in Scotland and Wales. Cases are NOT undertaken unless they are felt to be winnable in GRA's expert hands

Those cases which are undertaken are usually for Medium and Large companies resulting in grant awards in excess of £500,000. Often awards of between £1M and £3.5M are the expected result of GRA's careful and experienced approach, and increasingly of late, amounts approaching £5M to 10M are under discussion.

Capital Resources, particularly if given FREE as the gift of UK Government, is always hard to find - it is therefore wise to consult GRA Ltd directly at the earliest opportunity. Case preparation requires professional expertise and negotiation, and should be contemplated at the earliest planning stage.

Talk to GRA first. Once embarked upon a project cannot retrospectively get aid. It is also important to understand fully the consequence of caress discussion of the possibilities of undertaking a project with officials who might come to judge the issues involved in awarding grant funding.

But first to get some understanding of the subject, 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 is quickly done, and then subject to a detailed project specific questionnaire being submitted; GRA will be pleased to provide a carefully considered response on the likely potential case for grant.

ALL information is imparted under terms of strict commercial confidentiality. We hope our service can be of benefit to your company's business planning in the near future.

		GRANT AID for Capital Investment in 2008 -13 SFI becomes GBI GRANT for BUSINESS INVESTMENT Launched at BERR, with effect from 1st October, is a new name for SFI or SFIE formerly known as RSA by which name it has been known in Wales and Scotland, but where other name changes or scheme changes have introduced SIF (Single Investment Fund) to include RSA Cymru, in Wales, and RSA Scotland respectively.

It gets ever more difficult to persuade government officials to part with tax payers money. We always recall at a client meeting in Birmingham, a senior DBERR ( formerly the DTI ) official remarking to GRA... 'we don't like to say NO but all requests are subject to intense scrutiny by both UK and EU officials and MUST stand up to a public audit. We can't just give it away any more - a strong case must be made.' Some people think its as easy as that, just having done it before (when it was much easier as in pre-1996), or by misleading conversations with Businesss Link, the WAG or someone at DBERR or by politicians making anouncements in the press - just press the right buttons (they think) and the money falls into their hands - as much as they would want! As anyone who has had recent dealings with Officials will tell you - IT JUST NOT SO - ITS HARD WORK ! Remember grants are 'public funds' - tax payers' money - gifts from the government of 'last resort'. GRANTS are VERY DIFFICULT to get without expert assistance! Particularly if you want large sums like £1M to help fund your latest project. Key to the problem is proper expertise After all you wouldn't be foolish enough to defend yourself in a court of law if up on on a murder charge - so why view the presenting of a case to be given a million pounds by the Government as 'not' requiring experienced and qualified professional preparation and presentation? Don't risk ABJECT failure by not getting the right advice. ASK GRA's help - today. 09.12.2008 © GRA 2003-2008
