Great Grant funding news for Merseyside SME Business : at 40 – 60%
Every Managing Director Owner of an SME in Merseyside (UK) and Business Consultant should know how good the grant support is right now to help grow and develop their business. I raise the subject in all my meetings now to make sure the MD knows what is available.
Grant support for Training at 60% and Consultancy at 40% is typically available now and through most of 2007 for qualifying clients and projects. There is even more generous grant funding for Start-Ups and Micro Businesses.
This is great continuing support for businesses in the region where we still qualify for EU Objective 1 support.
With grant support like this the Managing Director Owner just needs the catalyst we provide to capture the business benefit - We help the MD to work “on” their business rather than “in” it.
Here at Proofsouth I am delighted when we can help local businesses to realise their potential and grow or develop on a sound commercial basis. This is part of our own mission within the Institute for Independent Business to offer “practical advice that works” ( http://www.iib.ws/index.html ).
No business review with a Managing Director Owner on Merseyside is complete without explaining the way these grants can accelerate, help & support their company. Proofsouth draws upon our Accredited Consultant status to offer this support under Government & EU Objective 1 initiatives.
Typically we draw up a proposal with the MD and then introduce the prospective client to the Funding Agency to qualify both client and project. Our role tends to break down into:
Developing Client plans into a viable proposal
Shaping the proposal into one or more projects with clear deliverables
Qualifying Client & Project with grant funding agencies
Drawing together the skills & competencies to deliver the requirements
Project managing the execution of the work within a Business Support Programme
Ensuring we achieve results on time and to budget
Working our way through the paperwork
Providing a lasting Business Friend relationship
I will expand on this issue further in the form of an article on the Proofsouth website. So if you want to read more then please go to our “Management Matters” section. http://www.proofsouth.co.uk/Files.htm .
