Securing Grants For Your Business With UMi

Could a grant support your business growth?

Grant funding can fuel growth, innovation, and productivity, but it’s clear the process is challenging. The good news? Securing grant funding is a skill that can be learned and our partners at UMi know exactly how vital securing funding can be and have shared some key steps to follow to give yourself the best chance.

Winning a grant requires preparation. Here are the seven steps to get started:

• Research and align your project with the grant’s criteria.
• Prepare essential documents in advance.
• Write a clear, compelling application.
