You found out from somebody else's result. By then, the window had already closed.

It opens on a fixed date, closes on another, and doesn't wait for anyone who wasn't ready when it did.

the approval rate anyone can honestly promise you

What actually decides whether a grant application succeeds

Four things, or the application never gets assessed

FIT

Whether the business genuinely fits

Sector, size, stage and plans checked honestly against a scheme's published criteria — before time goes into a form, not after.

WINDOW

The window it has to happen in

Schemes open on a fixed date and close on another. There's no version of applying after the close date.

DOCUMENTS

The paperwork the agency actually asks for

Financial records, registration and licensing documents, a business case — to the agency's own format, not a generic one.

CASE

The case made in the application itself

The same eligibility can be written well or badly. Assessors score what's on the page, not what's true but left unsaid.

+ get all four right and the outcome is still the agency's decision, not a promise anyone can make you

+ miss any one of them and a business that would have qualified is never actually assessed at all

What chasing schemes yourself actually costs

Nobody bills you for this directly, which is exactly why it doesn't feel like a cost until it's added up:

Researching which schemes exist, across separate agency sites and pagesMatched against records already in your account — not researched from a blank pageyour own time, unbilled
Assembling financials, licences and registrations once a window opensAlready on file in the same account — pulled, not re-requestedthe biggest single delay
Preparing a full case for a scheme you don't actually qualify forTold before you're quoted for the work, not after it's donea wasted week, no refund on it
Noticing a window has opened before it closes againTracked from inside the account that already knows your profileeasy to miss, doing this alongside running the business
What's actually left to doWriting the case for your own business
Whether the agency approves itNot ours to promise, whichever way this sum comes out

That last line matters more than it sounds. Nothing here shortens the agency's own decision — what it removes is losing before that decision is even reached.

The application is ours to prepare. The undertaking is the company's.

We can check the fit, build the case and submit it — but the declaration on the form, and whatever conditions come attached to the funds if they're awarded, is the company's undertaking to the agency, not ours.

Grant and incentive terms are set by the awarding agency itself, scheme by scheme, rather than by one statute — but the pattern holds across them: funds are typically released against conditions on how they're used and reported, and it's the recipient company, not whoever helped prepare the application, that has agreed to meet them.

The one question that decides this

Anyone can find schemes with a search. Almost nobody is still watching when one opens, with the paperwork already ready.

What happens the moment a scheme actually opens

Any capable grants consultant and OCTIS read the same published criteria and prepare the same kind of case. The difference shows up the day a matching scheme opens:

A grants consultant
Reads the published eligibility criteria for a scheme
Prepares the application form and the supporting case
Responds to agency queries during assessment
Starts requesting your financials, licences and records once you engage them for that scheme — worked up from paperwork handed over as the clock is already running
OCTIS
Reads the published eligibility criteria for a scheme
Prepares the application form and the supporting case
Responds to agency queries during assessment
Starts from records already sitting in the same account — financials, filings, licences — so most of what a matching scheme asks for is already on file, not requested for the first time

The actual sequence, and where it usually breaks

This is the real order of events, not a marketing version of it:

1

A scheme opens

for a limited window set by the agency, on its own calendar — not on ours

2

Documents get requested

financials, registration and licensing records, a business case — to the agency's own format

3

Already on file, in the same account

because the company's records live in the account that also tracks which open schemes match your profile

4

Submitted inside the window

before the close date, with everything the agency asked for attached — no scramble in the last days

What the closing date actually decides

Before the close date — a business can still apply, however strong or weak the case is
After the close date — no application is accepted, no matter how well the business would have qualified

There's no partial credit for being ready two days late. The threshold is the date, not the business.

Which failure actually happens more often

What it looks like

The risk most businesses prepare for is applying and being rejected.

What's actually true

The bigger risk almost never shows up as a rejection at all — it's the scheme that opened and closed with no application from you in it, because nobody was watching for the opening or the documents weren't ready when it did.

A rejection at least tells you something. A window that closes unwatched tells you nothing — which is exactly why it happens to businesses that would have qualified.

What a bad match costs you here

RM 0

spent chasing a scheme we've told you doesn't fit — we say so before you're quoted for the work, not after it's done.

What chasing every scheme yourself bills, and what happens to each line here instead

There's no plan and no flat fee for this — pricing genuinely depends on which schemes fit and how much preparation each one needs. This is what changes instead:

Being quoted for a scheme before eligibility is actually checkedEligibility checked first — you're only quoted for schemes you're a genuine fit forthe usual order
Paying for preparation work on a scheme that doesn't fitTold before anything is charged, including when the honest answer is don't applyfound out after the fact
Assembling your own numbers and plans for the caseSame as anywhere — nobody else can supply the business's own figuresstill real work, whoever prepares the application
What you're actually quoted forAssessment and preparation for schemes you genuinely fit
Whether the agency approves itNever billed, never promised — that decision stays the agency's

The number still comes from a quote, because the schemes worth pursuing and the work each one needs vary too much for one flat figure. What doesn't vary is being told the truth about fit before anything is charged.

Pricing

Quote-based, after eligibility is checked

Priced on which schemes you're genuinely a fit for and how much preparation each needs — not a flat rate that assumes every scheme is the same amount of work.

Approval

Never ours to promise

The awarding agency decides against its own criteria. What's within our control is whether the case submitted is complete, on time and matched to the criteria — never the outcome itself.

Not the guarantee

The 30-day money-back guarantee doesn't cover this service

It covers new company incorporation and transferring your company secretary to us. Being told honestly whether a scheme fits, before you're quoted, is what applies here instead.

Not covered

  • The 30-day money-back guarantee covers only new company incorporation and transfer of company secretary — not grant or incentive applications.
  • No approval, approval rate or timeline to decision is promised anywhere on this page. Whether an application is approved is the awarding agency's own decision, made against its own criteria — never ours to guarantee.
  • If a scheme doesn't genuinely fit the business, chasing it anyway is a tax on your own time before it's anything else. We say so before you're quoted for the work, not after — and that's true even when it means recommending you don't apply at all.
Can you guarantee my application gets approved?

No — and it's worth being wary of anyone who says otherwise. Approval is the awarding agency's decision, made against its own criteria, not ours. What's within our control is whether your application is complete, submitted on time, and matched to the criteria that scheme is actually assessed against.

How is the price worked out if there's no plan or fixed fee?

We check eligibility first, then quote for the schemes you genuinely fit and the preparation each one needs. You're never quoted for a scheme you don't qualify for, and you're told that before anything is charged, not after.

What if my business doesn't currently qualify for anything?

We'll tell you that directly rather than take a fee to find out. Chasing a scheme that doesn't fit costs you time before it costs anything else, and we'd rather say so upfront than let you spend it.

How do I actually find out a scheme has opened before it closes?

That's the part most businesses lose to — not ineligibility, but not knowing a window had opened in time to apply. Because the company's own records already sit in the same account, matching schemes against your profile doesn't depend on you happening to see the announcement first.

Is this covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee?

No — the guarantee covers exactly two services, new company incorporation and transferring your company secretary to us. Grant and incentive applications aren't part of that; being told honestly whether a scheme fits, before you're quoted, is what applies here instead.

The money you didn't get was never proof the business wasn't good enough.

Tell us what the business does and where it's headed. We'll say honestly which schemes are worth your time to pursue — and when none of them currently are.
