Despite the Government’s efforts to reduce the red tape, grants take a long time to write. They are also complex and there is a big difference in submitting an application and submitting a winning application. Some of the more technical questions we know how to address are:
How much net profit should the project generate?
What is the optimum number of jobs created per dollar of grant?
How will your project affect competitive neutrality?
What is the net economic impact of the project?
We know what to focus on and what to leave out to improve your chances of a successful grant application.
Firstly, allow sufficient time to read through the guidelines and make sure you are eligible before applying.
Then, it can take approximately 40 hours to complete a competitive grant application. Most businesses don’t have this sort of resource available considering grants are only open for 4 to 6 weeks.
Lastly, preparation is the key to increasing your chances of a great outcome so you must allocate the appropriate amount of time. Rarely will a last minute or night-before-deadline application succeed.
