Waste of time

I arranged a free consultation with Grantup which they cancelled just minutes before it was supposed to begin.

They followed up later to specifically request a call with us for an opportunity but no one showed up for the call leaving us waiting on a call.

No communication or reasoning given. Real shame.

A Game-Changer for Grant Applications

I've never felt more confident or at ease submitting a grant application than I did with GrantUp. Their team was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly helpful and flexible, handling the majority of the grant writing for our IUK Smart Grant. They knew exactly what questions to ask and how to transform our responses into a compelling, well-structured application that met all the grant’s specific requirements while maximizing impact in the areas that matter most for scoring high.

We were initially hesitant about the upfront service costs—especially since grant applications are always a bit of a gamble—but GrantUp proved to be worth every penny. Their expertise and support made all the difference, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.

Organized and Reliable, High-Quality Work

We worked with Dan and had a great experience. He was very organized and coordinated even though we had a tight deadline. He handled our partner organizations and made sure everything was on track and submitted on time. I can recommend the service.

GrantUp and the team are fantastic

GrantUp and the team are fantastic! They have been crucial in winning grants for us. The support and help they offer is second to none, and they have a real passion for helping businesses succeed. As well as excellent service, they have been more than supportive with recommendations and referrals to support us through their network. I would highly recommend Aaron, Lucy and the team at GrantUp to any business looking for grant writing and submission services. In fact, I've already referred many their way.

Your starting point for grant applications!

Boom-Time identified the opportunity to apply for an Innovate Smart Grant, but noted the odds of success were low. To improve our likelihood of winning, we engaged Grant Up to help. The process and service were amazing - but we never anticipated the value add as through the process the Grant Up team were able to add advice and direction which changed our entire R&D plans significantly for the better. If your looking to win grants I would strongly recommend Grant Up as your first point of action. We fully intend to use them again!
