The problem
UK funding is fragmented across hundreds of providers
National schemes, devolved agencies, combined authorities, growth hubs, councils, sector bodies — each with its own criteria, deadlines and portals. Most businesses never find the schemes they'd actually win. We made the landscape computable.
Tell us about your business
Three minutes: sector, size, location, what you're investing in. No documents needed up front.
The engine scans every scheme
Every live scheme checked against your profile across seven weighted dimensions — scored 0–100, with hard rules excluding anything you can't win.
See your opportunities, then build strategy
Potential matches on screen straight away, with a scan summary by email. When the opportunity is worth pursuing, the Full Funding Strategy Audit confirms eligibility and builds your application approach.
Why trust it
Intelligence you can audit, not a black box
Sophisticated buyers ask how the scoring works. Good — here's exactly how.
Official sources only
GOV.UK Find a Grant, the GOV.UK business support API, UKRI, Innovate UK and Find Business Support Scotland — re-scraped weekly, expired schemes closed automatically.
Explainable scoring
No black box. Every score decomposes into sector fit, activity fit, geography, size, goals, timing and materiality — and the report shows the working.
Honest data confidence
Every scheme carries a verification status. Unverified parameters lower the confidence score and are flagged for checking with the funder before any application.
AI that asks, never invents
Our writing tools draft from your facts and the scheme's published criteria. Missing information becomes a question to you — never an invented figure.

Questions
Before you start
Is the scan really free?
Yes — the on-screen matches and emailed scan summary are free, with no card details and no obligation. The scan shows where funding may be available; confirming eligibility and building the application strategy is the paid Full Funding Strategy Audit.
Where does the grant data come from?
Official UK sources: GOV.UK Find a Grant, the GOV.UK business support directory, UKRI, Innovate UK and Find Business Support Scotland, plus a hand-curated set. The database refreshes weekly and expired schemes are closed automatically.
Do you guarantee funding?
No — nobody honestly can. Scores are eligibility indicators built from published criteria; award decisions sit with funders. What we improve is how quickly you find the right schemes and how strong your application is.
What makes the scoring 'explainable'?
Every score breaks down into the seven dimensions it was built from — sector, activity, geography, size, goals, timing and materiality. You can see why a scheme matched, not just a number.
What happens after my scan?
If the opportunities look worth pursuing, book a funding strategy call. The Full Funding Strategy Audit then confirms eligibility scheme by scheme, prioritises the shortlist, maps deadlines and documents, and builds your application approach — with application support available on top.
Discover your possible funding routes — in under 3 minutes
Answer a few questions. The engine scans every live scheme in the database and shows where funding may be available for your business.
