Grants
Grants can enable you to go ahead with projects that you would otherwise not be able to finance. They can help you to buy equipment and machinery; refurbish premises; provide training; finance expansion programmes and much more. However, finding suitable grants and submitting successful applications is not easy.
Awarding bodies usually have a set amount of funds available each year, so you will have to compete with other applicants. As the awarding officers will probably not have met you nor visited your business, they have to base their decision on the written material that you provide. This means that your application has to be of the highest quality and must do justice to your project. To give yourself the best chance of success you need to be well informed and properly advised. Management Support Wales has an impressive track record in this area.
Grant Searches
We are accustomed to dealing with awarding bodies and have access to an impressive range of information and contacts, so we can usually let you know fairly quickly whether a suitable grant source is available and whether you may be eligible.
Preparing An Application On Your Behalf
This is our most popular service. We do all the hard work, while working closely with you every step of the way. The service includes -
Advice and Guidance
If you decide to prepare the grant application yourself, we can provide practical help and advice that should substantially improve your chances of success. You can involve us as much or as little as you like.
For valuable, in-depth, insider information we strongly recommend the book - How to Get A Grant. Just click on the box above to get your copy. It can be downloaded immediately as an e-book or you can order a printed and bound copy. This book can pay for itself thousands of times over if you put its advice into practice.
Pre-Submission Assessment
If you have already prepared your grant application, it makes good sense to ask us to conduct an independent, professional assessment before you submit it to the awarding authority. We are retained as external grant assessors by certain local authorities and other bodies, so we are in a good position to give expert advice.

Why Use a Professional
While small grants often require only the completion of a simple application form, most of them call for a business plan incorporating a financial forecast, together with supporting documentation. There are also important ‘dos and donts’ that you need to be aware of. If you get these wrong, you could waste a lot of time on applications that are doomed to failure.
If you don’t know the answers to these questions, you are not alone. Most small to medium sized organisations are in the same position.
Since our formation in 1993, over 95% of grant applications that we have submitted on behalf of clients have been successful. Naturally, we cannot guarantee a successful outcome in every case, but we believe that our track record speaks for itself.
