Grants
UNW is the North East’s leading grants adviser to businesses having successfully completed in excess of 100 applications. Our team has a vast knowledge of the UK grants regime and our clients cover a wide spectrum from owner managed SMEs to foreign owned multinationals and plcs. Our value proposition to clients is simple – we provide significant added value by identifying suitable grants and then project managing the application process to a successful completion. Our clients benefit from a proactive approach often resulting in the receipt of grants which had not been anticipated.
Transaction Support
