" Without this support, our venture would have taken much longer to become a reality, we owe a lot of gratitude to the Grant Maze team"

"We had tried everything to raise capital for our online start-up venture. I had approached banks who demanded all sorts of crazy terms for what was a relatively low amount of funding and private investment also proved elusive.

A grant became our next avenue to chase but didn’t know where to start. For months we got passed around government departments, filled in forms each time not getting any clear direction or guidance. BUT my prayers where answered. I found the Grant Maze and clarity soon followed. My concept was assessed, scrutinised and discussed. It was found to be of sound nature and the Grant Maze team did everything else. Business Planning, Forecasts, P&L, all the forms and applications....everything. Needless to say our grant was successful and the business got the push it needed. I would recommend highly".

Mr Ben Randal (MD) was helped in the preparation and successful application for grant funding by the Grant Maze. “ I believe that we would have given up on the grant but for their expert guidance.
