A New Era for UK Innovation: Bonham & Brook and Grantify Unite to Supercharge Funding Access
Bonham & Brook, an advisory firm specialising in Innovation funding is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with Grantify, the UK’s leading digital grant-funding platform.
In a climate where the UK is striving to strengthen its position as a global hub for innovation, this partnership brings together two organisations committed to helping ideas move faster from lab, to market, to lasting economic impact.
Unlocking Innovation Through Smarter Access to Funding
Accessing public funding in the UK is often complex, time consuming and difficult to navigate. Grantify has transformed this process, empowering thousands of businesses through its intuitive digital platform, expert guidance and a track record of securing tens of millions of pounds in government grant funding.
By combining Bonham & Brook’s deep expertise in the innovation sphere, coupled with Grantify’s technology drive grant application process, the partnership will make it significantly easier for UK innovators to identify, secure and optimise the full spectrum of available funding.
Together the organisations aim to lower the barriers that typically prevent high-potential companies from applying for or securing innovation funding.
A Partnership Designed to Move the UK Innovation Needle
“Now more than ever, Start-Up UK needs compliant public funding to fuel growth and innovation. Partnering with Grantify brings together the best of both worlds to make that possible. This partnership is a fundamental disruptor to the market.”
– Thomas Nicolson, Partner at Bonham & Brook
This partnership represents more than an expanded set of services, it is a deliberate effort to accelerate the UK’s innovation ecosystem by connecting grants, tax relief and strategic financial funding into a unified pathway for growth.
Benefit Across the Innovation Landscape
For innovators and founders, this provides a frictionless route to understand, apply for and secure government funding backed by experts who support the entire innovation lifecycle, from early-stage concepts to commercial scale up.
For the innovation ecosystem, a more connected, more collaborative funding environment empowers innovation driven businesses and strengthens emerging sectors, fuelling growth across multiple industries.
The UK economy benefits from this partnership as it enables more breakthroughs to reach the market faster, supporting national ambitions around productivity, global competitiveness and a more sustainable future.
Thomas Nicolson says: “By far the biggest challenge we hear from start-ups is knowing where to focus their time and how to access the right funding, work with the best advisors, and do so at the most efficient cost. Start-ups want confidence that we cover every angle of funding in the most compliant and transparent way. With the added complication of a highly scrutinised R&D Scheme a CEO now can rest assured they can fully maximise every avenue of funding available to them.”
He adds: “Following the acquisition in April, we secured £1m in funding for UK businesses within six months. We expect that figure to increase tenfold over the next 24 months.”
Driving Innovation With Purpose
“At Grantify, our mission is to help businesses secure the funding they need to innovate,” said Megan Youde, UK & US Partnerships, at Grantify.
“Partnering with Bonham & Brook allows us to extend that mission, bringing our clients access to market-leading tax advisory and innovation finance expertise.”
Together Bonham & Brook and Grantify share a vision where the UK’s groundbreaking ideas are not slowed by funding barriers but instead are propelled by world class support systems built for innovators.
