Grant Preparation Services

Government grants can fund the growth you have deferred, but applications are complex and time-consuming, and a weak submission achieves nothing. BPS identifies the right grants and prepares applications with a genuine prospect of success.

What grant preparation covers

This service guides you through the entire grant process, from establishing which grants you are eligible for to submitting a strong, complete application and meeting the reporting obligations that follow.

BPS undertakes the research, verifies eligibility and builds a clear, well-argued proposal — so you spend less time on paperwork and more time running the business.

Most applications are decided on the financial case as much as the narrative: the budget, the co-contribution, the projected outcome and the evidence behind each figure. That is the part we build properly, and the reason this service sits within Financial Management.

We concentrate your effort on grants you can realistically win, rather than pursuing every opportunity that appears attractive on paper.

Who it’s for

Likely a fit if any of these sound familiar.

  • You suspect you are missing funding you would be eligible for.
  • The application process is too complex or time-consuming to manage alone.
  • You need funding for growth, new products or entry into new markets.
  • You’ve applied before without success and want a stronger submission.
  • The budget and financial sections are the part you find hardest to evidence.
  • You want help staying compliant with grant reporting once funded.

How we prepare the application

Qualifying the opportunity, then building the submission behind it.

  • Research and identify grants that fit your goals and circumstances.
  • Assess eligibility against the criteria before you commit time.
  • Develop clear, compelling proposals that set out your project and its impact.
  • Build realistic, well-justified budgets aligned to grant requirements.
  • Prepare the supporting financial information — forecasts, co-contribution and projected outcomes — in the form the funding body asks for.
  • Manage the submission process so applications are accurate and on time.
  • Support ongoing reporting and acquittal to keep you compliant with grant agreements.
  • Track the funded spend against the approved budget so the acquittal is straightforward.

How we approach it

Most unsuccessful applications fail on qualification or evidence, not on writing. We work in that order.

Qualify

Eligibility tested against the criteria before you spend a day on the application.

Evidence

The budget, forecast and projected outcome built from your actual numbers, not estimates.

Submit

A complete, on-time application, with the reporting obligations mapped before you accept the funding.

What you get

A focused shortlist of grants worth pursuing.

Stronger applications with a better chance of success.

A budget and financial case that stands up to assessment.

Time saved on research and paperwork.

Clarity on co-contribution and what you’ll need to fund yourself.

Confidence that reporting obligations are handled.

Why BPS

We qualify opportunities before you commit, so your effort goes into grants you can realistically win rather than long-shot applications — and we build the financial case with the same rigour we would apply to a lender or investor. BPS is based in Perth and works with businesses across Western Australia.
