Once Catax Grant Assist has sourced the most appropriate grant funding call, the next stage is to write your application. Preparing a grant application is time-consuming and complex, especially if you are new to the process.

Our team of expert grant writers know how to best work with you and your management team to extrapolate the right information, leaving you to focus on running your business and developing your R&D.

Using our extensive experience, we are familiar with the required information, formats and templates and know the dos and don’ts of what the assessors are looking to see.

We work with you, supporting you through the whole application process from start to finish ensuring that, as a team, we put forward your grant application in an informative, conscientious and timely manner, maximising your chances of a successful application.

Having been successful in securing your funding, there are a number of additional steps and information requirements that have to be fulfilled before a funding body will make a formal offer.

This can seem quite daunting at the start when you are new to a process, so, as you are the expert in relation to your technology/business, why not bring in experts to conduct your project set up and administration?

It is important to get your project off to the right start, setting the right tone with all the correct documentation, project plan, financial information and reporting in place. Add to this a successful kick-off meeting with your Monitoring Officer and your project will be off to a flying start.

The team at Catax is highly experienced in managing this process having set up numerous client projects, providing support writing the necessary reports and completing the online application set up process, ensuring projects are compliant for all financial, legal, administration and reporting requirements.

For any grant funded project there will be a requirement to formally report on the project, deliverables and finances (usually quarterly). Our project managers work with you and your project team to extrapolate the necessary information to fulfil all reporting obligations. This is especially beneficial in collaborative projects where information is required from multiple sources.

Catax Grant Assist can take on the role as project manager and manage all Innovate reporting & communications or support your project manager, guiding and helping then to keep the project on track and compliant.

Having conducted reporting roles for both UK and EU funded grants, we understand the reporting requirements and how best to provide the right information, in the correct format, which ultimately ensures a smooth sign-off and receipt of funds. Claims are general claimed retrospectively, so robust financial management and monitoring is essential to ensure claims are quickly approved paid out.

The cost of our project management & claims service can be built into your project costs (eligible under subcontractor costs). Depending upon your business size, up to 70% of the cost can be claimed back.
