A key requirement of many grant schemes is independent appraisal or due diligence prior to contracting. We have extensive experience in delivering appraisal and due diligence reports in support of grant applications.
Our problem-solving approach is appreciated by both clients and funding administrators alike. Our subsidy control expertise allows us to advise on the most suitable legal route to ensure that the proposed grant offer can be delivered in the most effective manner possible.
We work alongside both private and public sector grant administering bodies, providing consultancy throughout the application process. In addition to delivering a comprehensive due diligence report, our support also includes:
- Attending initial meetings with potential applicants to assist with forming a proposal for a subsidy control compliant grant case
- Reviewing initial application documents to advise on areas where further information or investigation is required
- Producing documentation for review by key decision makers, including office holders and investment panel members
- Providing robust recommendations to support the grant awarding decision making process
- Suggesting appropriate conditions for contracting to protect the grant fund manager against project specific risks
We have worked on over 100 due diligence and appraisal assignments covering various grant funding schemes. We are currently the appraisal partner for the Tees Valley Capital grant fund and are retained by several local enterprise partnerships to provide due diligence support.
What does this mean to you?
- Peace of mind. Our appraisal and due diligence reports are recognised for their quality by local grant scheme providers and we are a Department for Business approved due diligence provider for national grant schemes.
