FAQs
What are my chances of winning a grant?
Most governmental programs are quite competitive and have a chance of 10-15% to win. Nevertheless, with our services these chances are significantly higher, as many proposals do not meet the exact requirements that funders are looking for. Although we cannot guarantee that you will win a grant, we have a proven track record of winning around 80% of our applications.
How will awarded grant money be paid out?
Grants are always paid out directly to you, NEVER to us. Usually there is a first payment (between 50-70% depending on the grant) after awarding, and a second final payment after project reports have been submitted.
How much does grant writing cost?
That depends on the complexity of the submission procedure and the nature of the project. A good rule of thumb is that our costs are approximately 10% of the project budget. Individual arrangements regarding fees are possible, please consult your dedicated contact person.
I own a company that exists longer than 5 years. Am I eligible for grants?
Yes, there are plenty of funding programs available! Please consult your dedicated contact person or let us draft a GrantScan for your business or project.
How much public grant money can I get?
That depends on the funding program and your project. Another limitation is the European de-minimis regulation that does not allow for more than 200.000 EUR in three tax years to be awarded to a single company through national public funding organisations. However, public grants function often as a ‘seal of approval’ in talks with investors.
