    Programme profile with source and deadline.

Every programme carries its official source and the date it was checked. Anything not documented appears as open in the report.

Where the programmes come from

Curated, not googled together.

The method in detail

A grant, a loan, a guarantee and tax relief are not the same thing. Every programme states whether and how the money flows back.

Support you don’t pay back.

FAQ

Frequent questions

No. planix shows you which requirements you meet, what is still open and who decides. The approval always comes from the funding body, never from us. You submit the applications yourself – the report prepares them.

No. Behind it sits a curated funding database: over 100 programmes, 30 data fields per programme, each with an official source and a date checked. A live search would drag along blogs and outdated amounts – here every programme states where the figure comes from and when it was last verified.

Many programmes only pay if the application was submitted before the project started. A contract, an order, a registration or a hire can cost the entitlement permanently. The report names the earliest safe project start per programme – the free check warns you even before that.

Often several at once, and that is exactly where it gets tricky. UK-wide, the British Business Bank backs Start Up Loans (up to £25,000 per person at a fixed 7.5% a year, plus 12 months of free mentoring) and the Growth Guarantee Scheme, through which your lender gets a 70% government guarantee. Innovate UK funds innovation through competitions, Innovation Loans and Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, and HMRC adds R&D tax relief. On top come the Nations and Regions Investment Funds, the Development Bank of Wales, Business Gateway and Scottish EDGE in Scotland, Invest Northern Ireland and the Growth Hubs in England. Direct grants are the exception – the report treats loans, guarantees and tax relief as equal routes, checks every level against your location and flags what rules each other out.

All of them – but each one is funded differently. Retail and hospitality mostly regionally, technology and research through innovation programmes, social services through foundations and project budgets. For 14 industries there is a page on what typically applies.

Funding by industry

Find the funding
your project is entitled to.

Between your idea and your own company there is often nothing but money that is already waiting for you. The free check shows you which – and what you must not sign until then.
