We at Gulf Gold know how much effort is put into starting your own business, keeping it running and growing. Often it can feel like you are doing the heavy lifting on your own but this isn’t necessarily the case. The fact is that most small to medium sized businesses do not take advantage of the resources that both Federal and State Governments offer to these businesses.
The most easily available source of help is financial assistance through Government grants. The selection process is competitive with many grant application rounds closing within a few hours of commencing due to the money allocated, already being claimed during the application process.
Grants are a useful source of funding, but they have very specific application requirements and usually relate to a particular industry sector or community to stimulate economic growth, or certain stages of the business cycle, such as developing a product or installing new systems to promote efficiency.
Grants are essentially free money, unlike loans, which eventually have to be paid back. However, because of this, grant funding is highly competitive. Therefore, in order for an assessor to determine the successful application from the many presented, it is crucial that an application is concise, easily read and addresses all the requirements of the grant.
So how do you make sure you’re the business that doesn’t miss out?
While a business owner, in many cases, must apply for a grant themselves (you’ll make a Statutory Declaration that you have), the process can take weeks to put together and the business will suffer from the lack of full attention required. It is an arduous and highly detailed process and that’s why Gulf Gold offers its services to clients to increase their opportunity for a successful grant funding outcome and raise their profile while they remain focused on their business.
At Gulf Gold we pride ourselves on the professional quality of our services. We consistently deliver on efficiency, due diligence, research, specific data collection and the attention to detail. Our grant writing service is about more than just answering criteria – it is about demonstrating to the grant provider that their needs and the needs of the grant applicant, are in alignment, so that by working together, great outcomes can be achieved for the community.
The team at Gulf Gold have a combination of skills that allows them to write in an analytical, persuasive and creative manner, with perfect grammar and yet, in a personable way, to achieve the best funding outcomes. We work closely with clients to build a relationship and establish rapport as with grant closure deadlines to be met, miscommunications can result in wasted time.
Gulf Gold’s staff will gather evidence to determine the best grants to meet the client’s needs and ensure that they fully understand, approve and authorise any submissions made on their behalf.
Our team will methodically gather the necessary business details and plan, as well as supporting, financial documentation and present these in a concise and clear manner.
We consider the client’s eligibility, past grant history, goals and projects to help align their grant strategy with appropriate grant targets. Well-aligned targets increase your chance for successful grant outcomes.
