Grants are one of the most underused funding sources for UK businesses. Not because they don't exist. Because they're buried.
There are thousands of grants available to UK businesses right now. Government grants, innovation funding, regional growth funds, sector-specific schemes, charity programmes. The problem isn't supply. It's discovery. The landscape is fragmented across dozens of websites, each with its own eligibility criteria, deadlines, and application processes. Most founders never look because it feels like too much work. The ones who do often give up after the third government portal.
YourGrantBuddy.com exists to fix that.
5 questions. 5 grants. No noise.
Tell us a bit about your business and we'll show you the grants you're most likely to be eligible for. No login. No email required. No sales pitch. Just a curated shortlist based on what you told us.
We built YourGrantBuddy.com because we kept meeting founders who had no idea they were sitting on grant eligibility. Pre-revenue startups qualifying for Innovate UK funding. Regional businesses missing out on local growth grants. Social enterprises overlooking charity trust funds. The information was out there. It just wasn't findable.
Who's behind this?
YourGrantBuddy.com was built by Brian Sharkey, who has spent over 10 years working in the UK startup ecosystem, helping founders find funding, build partnerships, and get to market. If you've used PartnershipsBuddy.com, you already know the approach: practical tools, no fluff, built for founders who'd rather be building than searching.
YourGrantBuddy.com is part of the Buddy Labs family, alongside PartnershipsBuddy.com.
The tool is free. The data is curated by hand. Every grant in our database has been reviewed, verified, and tagged by a human. We don't scrape and dump. If it's in YourGrantBuddy.com, it's there because we checked it belongs there.
