What is the difference between Every Grant and the Innovation Funding Service?
They do different jobs. The Innovation Funding Service is the government site where an Innovate UK application is actually submitted. Every Grant is a free check of which schemes a postcode can see, plus a fixed-fee draft if you want one. Every Grant does not submit the form and does not replace the Innovation Funding Service.

| Innovation Funding Service | Every Grant | |
|---|---|---|

| Price to look | Free | Free |
| A draft of the answers | No | Fixed fee, if you ask |
Can I pay Every Grant instead of using the Innovation Funding Service?
No. If the funder uses that service, the application still goes in there. A draft from Every Grant is text you check and then file yourself.
Does the Innovation Funding Service list council grants?
No. It is for innovation competitions. A postcode check is for the wider set, including local schemes, and it is still not a complete council list.

68 answers on this site. Every Grant checks which UK grants a business can get from a postcode or a place. Looking is free. If you want the application written, the fee is fixed and shown before you pay: £450, £850, £1,450 or £2,200, set by the size of the award. Every Grant does not take a percentage of the grant, does not file the form, and is not part of GOV.UK. Confirm every scheme on the funder's own site.
