How We Help

Securing innovation funding can be overwhelming. Between the dense eligibility criteria, time-consuming applications, and complex submission requirements, most founders either get stuck—or miss the mark entirely.

Our tried and trusted success-based process is designed to take an innovation from idea to full-funded commercial product – with us supporting you every step of the way

1. Eligibility & Success Assessment
We start with an evidence-based assessment to determine whether your project aligns with the criteria and scoring thresholds of schemes such as Innovate UK, NIHR and DASA. Drawing on 20+ years’ experience and real-time insight into funder expectations, we provide a realistic view of your success potential—not just your eligibility. If you have a good chance of winning, we'll be in touch.

2. Strategic Roadmap & Project Design
If your project qualifies, we shape a bespoke strategy to maximise fundability. This includes mapping your innovation against relevant schemes, articulating your USP and societal value, and defining a credible delivery model that reflects what assessors look for. We support you to:
+ Identify the most suitable competition(s)
+ Refine your technical, commercial and impact narrative
+ Plan a compliant, strategically timed submission.
We map out the opportunities and work with your team to align projects to grantor bodies’ needs.

3. Application Development & Submission
With the strategy in place, we lead the end-to-end writing and submission process—ensuring clarity, alignment with scoring rubrics, and full compliance with portal requirements. Our support includes:
+ Drafting all technical and commercial sections
+ Structuring appendices, project plans, and impact statements
+ Managing submissions via Innovation Funding Service and equivalent platforms.
Human-led, no generic AI. You remain involved throughout, but without the 150+ hours of time required.

4. Post-Award Support & Compliance
Winning a grant is only the beginning. We offer ongoing support throughout the grant lifecycle to ensure compliance, reduce admin burden, and mitigate payment delays. Our team provides:
+ Guidance on preparing accurate grant claims and financials
Drafting of quarterly technical reports and evidence logs
+ Support with Monitoring Officer engagement and change requests
+ Advice on navigating common compliance pitfalls and audit risks
This helps ensure you remain on track, both technically and financially.

5. Your Innovation Partner
As your long-term funding partner, we help map future opportunities, plan strategically, and secure follow-on support.
+ Regular horizon scans for new UK/EU grants
+ Strategic timing across TRLs and product lifecycle
+ Support for repeat bids, resubmissions and scale-up grants
+ Integration with other R&D funding (e.g. EIC, NIHR, SBRI)
Our goal? Maximise your non-dilutive funding over time—not just once.

Why It Works.

We’re not a volume shop. We don’t say yes to every lead, and we don’t take shortcuts. That’s why we win.

Our team brings over 20 years of experience navigating grant landscapes across MedTech, Agritech, Energy, and Advanced Materials. We know how to craft applications that get taken seriously—and more importantly, we know which ideas truly stand a chance.

Our work is high-touch, collaborative, and deeply honest. If we believe your chances are slim, we’ll say so. If we believe you can win, we’ll do everything in our power to help make that happen.

Our experience with Mark and his whole organization was stellar. It was so refreshing for me to give Mark the idea I was trying to express and then just let him develop it. We have worked with Mark on two different UK Grant proposals and we were awarded both of them. One of the proposals was for the amount of £4m and the other for £1m. I will definitely engage Tatton Consulting in the future.

The guys at Tatton Consulting Mark and Lewis in particular are true professionals. They offer a comprehensive level of service and support for clients wishing to tap into various business development grants such as Innovate UK. In our case at Origin Pharma they have helped us to secure a significant amount of monies, circa £500k which will enable us to drive forward with our digital product development programme linked to RPM.
