Turnkey processing of a grant application is a service in which an external advisor prepares the entire project documentation and guides the applicant through the submission process. It usually includes an eligibility assessment, selection of a suitable call, preparation of the project description, budget and indicators, completion of the annexes, and submission in the system. The fee tends to be a combination of a fixed part and a share of the support awarded. It is important to know what the advisor cannot do: they cannot change the applicant's eligibility, cannot supply missing permits or co-financing, and bear no responsibility for meeting the indicators during the years after approval. The background information about the company and the substantive content of the intent must come from you. When choosing an advisor, therefore clarify the scope, who communicates with the authority, whether implementation and monitoring are included in the price, and what happens in the event of failure.
