ViewFrequently asked questions
What founders ask about this funding combination.
Can growth-stage startups still get non-dilutive grants?
Yes — scale-up and growth schemes write larger equity-free cheques for companies with demonstrable traction. Amounts are on each listing.
What traction is expected?
Sales, customers and often financial statements. The bar is higher than early-stage schemes, and so are the amounts.
What can growth-stage grant money be used for?
Typically scaling production, market expansion, hiring and further R&D — uses tied to demonstrable growth. Each scheme specifies its permitted spend on its page.
