The opportunity

The UK has over £2 billion in annual SME funding. Most of it goes unclaimed.

Not because businesses aren't eligible. Because finding the right schemes, understanding eligibility, and writing a strong application takes time most founders don't have.

Ore does that work in minutes. We match your business to the schemes that actually fit — not a generic list — and generate the content you need to pursue them.

Whether it's an Innovate UK application, an SBRI Healthcare submission, or a first approach to a Catapult, Ore gives you something actionable for every match.

What you get per scheme

Three output types. One goal: get you funded.

Application Draft

For schemes with a direct application form or competition window. A structured draft covering the key sections: business overview, innovation case, market opportunity, team, and financials. Ready to paste and refine.

Contact Brief

For schemes where the first step is approaching the provider (Catapults, Health Innovation Networks, Scottish Enterprise, etc.). A one-page brief: who you are, why you fit their criteria, what you're looking for, and how to open the conversation.

Claim Guide

For tax-based schemes like R&D Tax Credits. A summary of qualifying activities, what to prepare, and how to work with your accountant to file.

Common questions

Is this just a list of grants I could Google?

No. Ore scores your specific business against every scheme's eligibility criteria — sector, stage, TRL, R&D activity, geography, and more. You see why you match, not just that a scheme exists.

What if there's no application form?

21 of our 55 schemes work through direct contact with the provider rather than an online form. For those, Ore generates a Contact Brief — a tailored one-pager that prepares you for that first conversation and dramatically improves your chances of getting a meeting.

How current is the database?

We maintain 55 live schemes covering grants, in-kind support, accelerators, loans, and tax relief. We review and update quarterly. For competition-window schemes (Innovate UK, SBRI, EIC), we note when to check for open rounds.

Do you take a cut of grants won?

No. Flat pricing only. What you win is yours.

I'm not technical — can I still use this?

Yes. The scan is a plain-English questionnaire. No jargon, no forms to decipher. The outputs are written to be used by non-specialists.

Your funding opportunity is waiting.

Most UK SMEs leave public funding on the table. Scan your business in 2 minutes and find out what you're missing.
