Helping You Secure the Support to Grow

Finding and securing grant funding can be a real boost for your organisation — but the process can often feel time-consuming, complex, and competitive.

At Foley Business Support, we help business owners and managers identify the right opportunities and prepare strong, persuasive applications that stand out for all the right reasons.

Whether you’re seeking funding for innovation, sustainability, business growth, or capability-building, we’ll guide you through each step — making the process clear, structured, and achievable.

How We Help

We provide hands-on support through every stage of the funding journey, ensuring your application is complete, compliant, and compelling.

Our services include:

Researching available grants and assessing eligibility
Developing proposal strategies and key messaging
Drafting and reviewing application content
Gathering supporting documentation and evidence
Managing submission requirements and timelines

We bring structure to every step, helping you present your project with confidence and purpose.

Our Approach

Our approach is tailored, collaborative, and transparent.

We take the time to understand your business objectives, identify the most suitable funding options, and align each application with your strategic priorities.

You’ll get clear communication, well-organised timelines, and expert guidance that makes the process feel simple — not stressful.

Beyond the Application

Our support doesn’t stop when the application is submitted. We can assist with post-application follow-up, feedback analysis, and preparation for future funding rounds.

For clients who want to build long-term funding capability, we also help create systems and templates that make future applications faster and easier.

Our goal is to help you develop confidence and independence in the grant funding process, while still being there when you need us.

Why It Matters

Grant funding can open powerful doors, enabling innovation, growth, and transformation that might otherwise take years to achieve.

But success depends on structure. With Foley Business Support, you’ll have a trusted partner to help you prepare persuasive, professional applications that get noticed and get results.

What our Clients Have to Say

We're currently working with Deirdre to get B-Corp certified. She is really great at simplifying the process.

Deirdre came into my company and simplified the word 'sustainability' for me. We are a small company of 18 people but we now have a Green Team set up who take ownership of various elements of our new sustainability action plan. Everyone has bought into the strategy and enthusiastic about the future.

FAQ

Have a question about how we work or what we offer?

Here are some of the most common questions we get from clients

What types of grants can you help with?

We assist with a wide range of public, private, and sector-specific grants, including those focused on innovation, sustainability, digital transformation, and business development. If you’re not sure where to start, we’ll help identify the right options for your goals.

Do you write the grant applications for us?

Yes. We can draft, review, or edit applications depending on what you need. We’ll also work closely with your team to ensure the final submission accurately reflects your organisation’s strengths and priorities.

Can you help us find suitable grants?

Absolutely. We research current funding programmes and match them to your business objectives, eligibility, and capacity - saving you time and helping you focus on the most relevant opportunities.

What if we’ve never applied for funding before?

That’s completely fine. Many of our clients are first-time applicants. We’ll guide you through the process step by step, explain what funders are looking for, and help you build confidence for future applications.

Do you guarantee success?

While we can’t guarantee outcomes (since funding decisions rest with the awarding body), our structured, professional approach significantly improves your chances of success.
