Once Catax has sourced the most appropriate grant for your project, our team, familiar with the required information, formats, templates and knowing the dos and don’ts of what the assessors are looking to see, will support your business through the whole application process from start to finish.

Catax will ensure that 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 to be undertaken and information requirements to be fulfilled before a funding body will make a formal offer.

This can seem quite daunting at the start of the process, so, as you are the expert in relation to your technology/business, why not bring in an expert 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 the Monitoring Officer and your project will be off to a flying start.

The team at Catax are highly experienced in managing this process, having previously set up numerous projects for existing clients. We provide support in the writing of the necessary reports and in 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 your project, its deliverables and finances (usually quarterly). Our project managers will work with your project team to extrapolate all the necessary information to fulfil these reporting obligations. This is especially beneficial for collaborative projects where information is required from multiple sources. .

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

Having conducted reporting roles for both UK and EU funded grants, the Catax team understands 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 generally received retrospectively, so robust financial management and monitoring is essential to ensure claims are quickly approved and 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.
