Frequently asked questions

Who is the consulting service designed for?
It is designed for companies that want a structured funding plan instead of reacting to one program at a time. The work starts with your projects, budgets, timing, and growth priorities, then turns them into a funding roadmap.
What happens during a consulting mandate?
helloDarwin reviews your company profile, identifies relevant programs, validates eligibility, prioritizes opportunities, plans documentation, coordinates applications or claims, and keeps visibility on submitted files and next steps.
How is consulting different from grant writing or the platform?
The platform is best for discovery and internal tracking. Grant writing helps with a specific application. Consulting is broader: it connects discovery, strategy, eligibility, application planning, specialized support, and follow-up into one managed process.
What information do you need to build a funding strategy?
The process usually starts with information about your company, industry, location, planned investments, project timeline, budgets, payroll, equipment purchases, R&D activities, export plans, and previous funding history. This helps determine which programs are realistic and worth pursuing.
Can grant consulting include tax credits and SR&ED?
Yes. Many companies combine grants, tax credits, and SR&ED opportunities as part of a broader funding strategy. helloDarwin can help determine which type of funding fits each project and whether multiple programs can be pursued together.
Does helloDarwin guarantee grant approval?
No consulting firm can guarantee approval, because final decisions are made by government agencies and program administrators. helloDarwin’s role is to identify strong-fit opportunities, structure applications properly, improve documentation, and manage the process to increase the chances of success.
