The BBL Group has a track record of success often for smaller companies in a range of different industries. We can:

• manage the whole application process,
• set up the reporting systems, and
• ensure that you don’t get caught out by the regulations - and in the worst scenario have to pay back or miss out on the grant funding you have won.

The government is currently carrying out a major review of its policies on innovation support and changes are expected. Currently, there are many grant and funding schemes open to companies. Key ones are:

Climate Ready Program - Competitive grants of 50% of costs, $50,000 up to $5m for R&D, proof of concept and pre-commercialisation activities in projects that address the negative aspects of climate change such as:

• Water re-cycling, waste recovery or small scale renewable energy technologies;


• Green building materials that enhance energy efficiency, etc.


• New technologies that reduce energy used by appliances;


• Cutting emissions and household power bills;


• Other innovations targeting negative effects of climate change.

You can apply for government grants yourself, but the BBL Group is a specialist in this field and can provide you with the following benefits:

• your time is not wasted while you learn the terminology and conditions of the grant
• we are the conduit between you and the funding body
• you are more confident about the application process
• we decipher the requirements of the application
• we prepare the application on your behalf
• costs can be linked to success.

"David became a very important part of our Commercial Ready Team. He understands the process and having been involved in several successful applications, has a good understanding of what is required. Most importantly he had the ability to stand away from the project and identify what needed to be highlighted in our application. David's input was invaluable."
