What happens at each stage
Identify
We map the Innovate UK, UKRI and Horizon Europe landscape against your project, sector, stage and budget, then recommend the single best-fit opportunity. We are direct about competitions where your chances are low.
Frame
Before a word is written we agree the scoring angle: how the innovation claim, technical risk and commercial case will be positioned against the published criteria.
Build
Our team writes the narrative, builds the finance forms and justification, and prepares every supporting document, from the commercialisation plan to letters of support.
Assure
Every submission goes through compliance, budget consistency, scoring alignment and editorial review. A single error can cost an entire submission window.
Advance
After submission we support every outcome: award management, reporting, assessor feedback analysis, follow-on funding strategy and resubmission.
3 to 5 hrs
Typical founder time across the whole engagement. Writing it in-house usually costs 80 to 200 hours.

- Programme selection and eligibility screening
- Scoring strategy and narrative framing
- Full application drafting and rewriting
- Finance forms, justification and supporting documents
- Multi-round internal review against the criteria
- Submission mechanics and post-award follow-up
What we need from you
- A briefing call on the science and the company
- Answers to targeted technical questions
- Review and sign-off on the final draft
- Registrations we cannot complete on your behalf
No template library, no AI drafting tool, no homework pack. Specialists do the work.
Nothing is submitted until it clears every gate
A large share of grant submissions are returned or scored down for reasons that have nothing to do with the science: a missing form, a budget that does not reconcile, a section that answers the wrong criterion. Our review process exists to make those failures impossible.
See why applications fail- 01Eligibility and registration checks before any writing begins
- 02Competition brief compliance: sections, page limits, formatting, required forms
- 03Finance forms cross-checked line by line against the narrative
- 04Scored internally against the published assessment criteria
- 05Editorial pass for clarity, and a final read by a second specialist
How we think about your application
We only pitch what can win
If we don't think your project fits the competition, we say so. Honest go/no-go advice saves you months.
Written by specialists, not generalists
Your writer is matched to your technical domain. Life sciences, semiconductors, quantum, energy or software.
Reviewed the way assessors review
Every draft is scored internally against the published criteria before it goes anywhere near submission.
Built for the next round too
A first grant award is a stepping stone. We write with follow-on and collaborative funding already in view.
