Frequently Asked Questions

What is a business grant eligibility assessment in Ireland?

A business grant eligibility assessment sees if your company and project meet the basic rules for Irish, EU or UK business grants.

It looks at facts like your size, sector, location and growth plans. Afterwards, it compares them with current funding criteria so you know if it is worth your time to apply.

This first step helps you avoid grants that are not a good match and focus on the ones where you have a real and fair chance.

Why should I check my eligibility before starting a grant application?

Grant applications need time, effort and clear information. Starting without knowing if you qualify can use up energy with little result.

A focused eligibility check can:

  • Show if your business and project fit the funder’s goals
  • Highlight gaps in your plan, figures or documents
  • Help you choose whether to apply now, improve your case, or wait for a better grant.

This type of review protects your team’s time and helps you work on applications that are more likely to succeed.

What usually happens during a grant eligibility assessment?

Most assessments begin with a short discovery call where you explain your business, project idea and funding needs in plain language.

After that, the work often includes:

  • Collecting key company and project details
  • Matching your profile with open and future grant schemes
  • Checking how you might score against the main rules and criteria.

Consultancies like CAPIQAL use this process to build a clear and simple picture of your position before you invest in a full application.

Which factors usually affect business grant eligibility in Ireland?

Common factors include your company size, sector, trading history, region and the type of work or project you want to fund.

Funders often look at:

  • How many jobs you may create or protect
  • Your plans for exports, innovation or green activity
  • Any public funding you already receive and how your project supports policy aims.

An eligibility assessment brings these points together so you can see where you are strong and where you may need more proof or planning.
