A workflow that takes you from business profile to funded decision

01 — READINESS

How ready are you to apply?

The readiness score tells you how prepared your business is before you spend weeks applying. It scores your business profile against what funders actually ask for, then shows which gap moves the score most.

  • Weighted score across profile, financials and funding goal
  • Prioritised gap list with effort estimates
  • Score history so progress over time is visible

02 — MATCHING ENGINE

How is eligibility decided?

Eligibility is decided by rule, not by resemblance. Each programme's criteria are normalised into structured fields — sector, size, age, location, spend, purpose — and compared against the business profile by a deterministic SQL engine, never a generative guess. A hard blocker such as headcount or legal form excludes the call outright; softer signals only change where it ranks. Criteria are read from the publishers themselves: TED, SAM.gov, Find a Tender, SEDIA, Grants.gov and UKRI.

  • Hard eligibility filters applied before ranking
  • All five funding types scored on one model
  • Re-runs automatically when your profile changes
03 — WHY THIS MATCH

Why did this call match?

A Scalebiz match arrives with its reasoning: the criteria it met, the questions still open, and what the call requires next.

SAMPLE DATA

05 — COMPARE

How do you compare a grant with a loan or an investor?

Scalebiz puts shortlisted options side by side on amount, dilution, effort, time to decision and match quality, so a grant, a loan and an investor can be weighed on the same terms.

Answers grounded in the programme's own documents

Ask about eligibility, cost lines or timing. Answers draw on the programme's own documents and cite the clause they came from, so you can verify before you commit.

SAMPLE DATA
“Are subcontractor costs eligible?”
Yes, up to 30% of total eligible cost. Call document §5.4, page 12.

How is this different from searching the portals yourself?

The official portals — TED, SAM.gov, Find a Tender, SEDIA, Grants.gov and UKRI — are free, official and complete. They are also separate: each has its own format and its own search, and none of them knows anything about your company. Scalebiz reads those same official sources into one place and checks every call against your business profile before ranking it. The result is a shortlist of calls you are actually eligible for, each citing the official document it came from.

IN DEVELOPMENT 08 — WRITING ASSISTANCE

What is Writing assistance, and what does it do?

Writing assistance is a second Scalebiz product, in development, that shortens the work of writing an application you are already writing yourself. The costly parts of that work are breaking the call document down, retyping the same company facts for every call, and keeping the scoring criteria in one PDF while the draft sits in another. Writing assistance is built to shorten those parts, not to take the writing over.

01

Writing assistance takes the call document apart

Sections, mandatory annexes and criteria are pulled out as a structure instead of a summary — with the criteria that carry points kept separate from the ones that are pass or fail.

02

A company file holds the facts you have confirmed

References, certificates and numbers are confirmed once and kept in a company file, so a fact you have already confirmed is not entered again for the next call.

03

Drafts follow the scoring criteria, section by section

Each section is written against the criteria it will be scored on, because those criteria are what the evaluation is actually done against.

04

Missing facts stay visible as questions

Where a fact does not exist, Writing assistance leaves a marked hole carrying the question that has to be answered, rather than inventing a number to fill it.

Two things worth being clear about

Writing assistance is bought separately from the Inside subscription. It is not part of Inside and does not come included with it.

Writing assistance is not open yet. When it is, it will be announced here before anyone can buy it.
