The problem

Funding information is everywhere. Clarity isn't.

Public portals, agency pages, PDF calls, investor lists and bank programmes all live apart. Teams spend weeks reading criteria that were never written for them, then act on the wrong opportunity — or miss the right one entirely.

Fragmented sources

Dozens of national, regional and sector portals, each with its own format, language and update cycle.

Unclear eligibility

Criteria are written for administrators, not applicants. Relevance is guesswork until someone reads 30 pages.

No shared workflow

Findings sit in spreadsheets and inboxes. Deadlines pass unnoticed and prior research gets repeated.

How it works

From business profile to a working funding pipeline

STEP 01

Build your business profile

Sector, size, location, stage, revenue, plans and funding need. Ten minutes, reusable everywhere.

STEP 02

See readiness and matches

A readiness score shows what's missing. Matches are ranked against your profile, not a keyword.

STEP 03

Understand why each fits

Every match lists the criteria you meet, the ones you don't, and the evidence still required.

STEP 04

Shortlist, compare, manage

Move opportunities through a pipeline with owners, deadlines and notes your whole team can see.

Core features

Decision support, not another list of links

Scalebiz is a decision-support and workflow platform. It qualifies opportunities against your business, explains the reasoning, and keeps the work in one place.

Profile-based qualification

Clarity over raw listings

Plain-language criteria summaries and explicit gaps.

Workflow, not bookmarks

Stages, owners, deadlines and notes for the whole team.

EU, US and UK focus

Depth in three markets instead of shallow global coverage.

Serious business UX

Dense where it helps, quiet everywhere else.

Frequently asked questions

What types of funding does Scalebiz cover?+

Grants, public tenders, investors, debt programmes and guarantee schemes. All five are qualified with the same profile, so you can weigh a grant against a loan or an equity round in one place.

Which regions are supported?+

The European Union, the United States and the United Kingdom. We focus on depth in these three markets — national, regional and sector-level programmes — rather than thin global coverage.

How is Scalebiz different from a funding database?+

A database returns listings. Scalebiz qualifies opportunities against your business profile, explains why each one fits, flags what is missing, and gives you a pipeline to act on. It is decision support plus workflow.

Can I use Scalebiz if I already run an established business?+

Yes. Most users are operating SMEs. Trading history, revenue and headcount usually widen eligibility — particularly for tenders, debt programmes and guarantee schemes.

Does Scalebiz support grants and investors in the same workflow?+

Yes. Non-dilutive and equity options sit in the same shortlist, pipeline and compare view, so you can sequence them deliberately instead of pursuing them in isolation.

What do I get in the free plan?+

A business profile, your readiness score, 10 matches with the three main reasons behind each, up to 10 saved opportunities, 3 in your pipeline, and a weekly digest. Enough to judge relevance; Pro is where the work happens.

Product

Seven parts of one product: readiness, matching, explanations, pipeline, compare, alerts and a guidance layer grounded in official programme documentation.

Readiness scores your profile, financial evidence and documentation against what funders actually ask for, then tells you which gap moves the score most.

About

We think funding decisions deserve better information

Funding in the EU, US and UK is not scarce — it is scattered. Programmes are published across hundreds of portals in formats written for administrators. The cost lands on the businesses least able to absorb it.

Scalebiz exists to remove that cost: to help companies stop losing weeks across fragmented sources and instead make deliberate, well-informed funding decisions.

MISSION

Make relevant funding legible to every business that qualifies for it.

FOCUS

Three markets — EU, US, UK — covered properly rather than the world covered thinly.

MODEL

Software subscription only. No commission on funding you secure.

How we work

Sources before opinions

Every criterion we show traces back to an official document. If we can't cite it, we don't state it.

Explain, don't just rank

A score without reasoning is not useful to someone who has to justify the decision internally.

Say no clearly

Telling a company it does not qualify quickly is as valuable as finding the match that fits.

Built with operators

Founders, SME finance leads and funding advisors shape what we build next.

Team

A small team across product, funding research and data engineering.
