Raising funds can be a hard slog
Grant applications
Key problems often include:
finding a grant that fits: the criteria for eligibility or allowable expenditure can sometimes be difficult to interpret
it can be a challenge to convey that your project has what the grant is looking for, or to summarise a project into word-limited application forms
the application process can be time consuming and you may not find out why an application was unsuccessful.
I have helped numerous organisations to find relevant grant programs, provided advice on eligibility and have reviewed draft grant applications, suggesting improvements or clarifications.
Start-up and growth funding
Through my role as administrator of the Geelong Angel Investor Network, I have seen a lot of start-up businesses present their pitch, and learned the themes that were common to those that were successful. Likewise my time at National Australia Bank gave me a good insight into what banks look for when lending.
I can help you best present your story to attract funding.
