Why work with a grant advisor?
Most companies do not have the time to deal with the funding programs and their guidelines. Comparing the guidelines with the project ideas is usually not part of the planning. Later in the implementation phase, no project manager will normally be happy to compare every adjustment to the project with the submitted applications and report them accordingly. Conversely, however, every entrepreneur would like to win the non-repayable grants for themselves!
It is therefore the task of a funding advisor:
- Identify funding programs
- Assess eligibility
- to create applications
- Responsible for administrative management throughout the project
- Notify the sponsor of any adjustments
- Ensuring that all formal conditions are met and the grants are paid
legal entitlement to funding
There is almost no legal entitlement to any funding that is applied for. An exception here is the Innovation Promotion Act of the Federal Republic of Germany. There is a legal entitlement to a subsidy of up to €1 million per year. Funding is primarily provided for personnel costs that have been pursued in an activity that can be defined as innovative.
