The middle way between doing it yourself and hiring an agency.
Doing it yourself is free but slow. Agencies can be excellent but take a share of your award. Gov Owed sits between: a checked shortlist for free, then the rules and a draft for £19.95, and you submit it yourself.
Other grant-finder tools
Them: Often a list of matches and a generic paragraph to paste.
Gov Owed: Matches checked against each scheme's published rules, with the rules you pass and fail, and a step-by-step guide from the funder's own pages where one exists.
Success-fee agencies
Them: 10–30% of your award, or £2,750+ up front.
Gov Owed: The matches are free. A flat £19.95 buys the eligibility check, a guide and a draft to work from. You submit it yourself and keep 100% of what you win.
Loan brokers
Them: Commission from the lender when you borrow.
Gov Owed: No commission from any funder or lender. Where a scheme is a loan, we label it as a loan.
Enterprise databases
Them: Subscriptions priced for councils and large teams.
Gov Owed: Priced and written for a small business: one company, one price, no sales call.
Doing it yourself on gov.uk
Them: Free, but hours of searching across each funder's site.
Gov Owed: The same sources, checked against your business in about two minutes. We track a fixed list of schemes and can't promise it finds every one.
What this costs everywhere else.
The grant-help industry mostly prices as a percentage of your money. That's the part we think is broken.

Questions, answered straight.
Why so cheap when others charge thousands?
Because it's software, not a service. The expensive firms hand-write applications and take a cut, which also gives them a reason to inflate claims. Gov Owed checks you against scheme rules we keep up to date and drafts from your Companies House data. A flat £19.95 means we have no incentive to oversell you anything.
What's free, and what's in the report?
The scan is free. It names your top three matches, with the money and why each fits, and tells you how many more schemes match. The £19.95 report names every match and helps you apply: the eligibility check for each one, rule by rule, a step-by-step guide, a draft to work from, and re-runs for 12 months. It is one payment, not a subscription.
What if my report finds nothing?
You'll know before you pay. The free scan shows how many schemes match and names your top three, so you only buy the report once you can see there's something there. A report also re-runs for 12 months, so it keeps checking as schemes open and close. You keep 100% of anything you win; we never take a percentage.
What does "12 months of re-runs" mean?
A report isn't a PDF snapshot. Schemes open, close and change, so you can re-run your company's report any time for 12 months and it re-matches against the current scheme list.
Does Gov Owed apply for me?
No. Gov Owed shows you the rules, a guide to the route and a draft to work from. You check it and submit each application yourself on the funder's own site, and the funder decides.
Is this financial advice?
No. Gov Owed provides information about funding schemes. It is not financial, legal or tax advice, and Gov Owed is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Eligibility is always decided by the funder when you apply.
I'm an accountant — how do the packs work?
A £129 pack gives you 10 report credits to use on any companies: £12.90 per client. Running grants checks across a whole client book? Practice (£499/yr, up to 250 client companies) opens soon: join the early-access list from the Practice card above.
Is there VAT, and can I expense it?
No VAT is added: we’re not VAT-registered. The price you see is the whole price. Payments run through Stripe and you get a receipt straight away. Every purchase also comes with an invoice for your records, showing your business name and VAT number if you add them at checkout: download it from your receipt email or from Billing in your account.

The scan is free. It names your three best matches, with the money and why each fits, and shows how many more it found.
