TOP TIPS FOR APPLICANTS

Here are some useful tips for completing an application:

Sell your idea

Explain really clearly what your project does and how it will benefit the economy. Show what the funding will mean to the success of your project. If you can show that your project is good value for money, and that you’re planning to use the grant money to improve your project, you’re more likely to get the grant.

Do the market research

You have to show that there is real demand for what you want to do, or you’re unlikely to get a grant.

Be prepared

You will need to keep detailed records about your project, because you’ll have to provide proof (including detailed quotes) of how much the various elements of your project will cost.
