Our services.
Securing grant funding for your for-profit manufacturing, industrial, or distribution company can be a complex process. Unfortunately, that’s why most organizations don’t pursue it. Lakeview Consulting removes that roadblock and simplifies the process for our clients. We’ve helped companies of all sizes secure the funding they need to grow, expand, invest in technology, find talent, and provide training for employees. And we can help you too.
The services we provide are tailored to the needs and goals of clients, but generally fall into three categories:
- Research
“Is there funding available to support my manufacturing project?”
This is the question our clients most frequently ask. The answer is…let’s find out!
The Lakeview Consulting team dives into your project from the beginning to understand what you’re looking to do, and what outcomes you’re looking to produce. Once your project is completely defined, our experts know where to look for grants and incentives to support it. We present our research to you, and if we mutually agree there are potential funding sources available, we help you access them. If we don’t, you don’t pay for our research services. Because this is our life’s work, we know where to find and how to engage high probability funders for your project and provide tax credit assistance to ensure no money is left on the table. We research:
Grants | Tax Credits | Incentives
- Writing
Is any portion of the grant writing process intimidating to you or your team? Would you rather keep your team focused on driving company success than learning how to write grants?
If you answered ‘yes’ to one or both of those questions, it’s time to lean on the experts at Lakeview Consulting. Writing “fundable” manufacturing grant applications, case studies, and executive summaries isn’t a part-time job. Our 40 years of combined grant writing experience means we can do it efficiently and effectively, and give you the best chance of securing funding. That expertise combined with exceptional project management skills is the reason we’ve helped clients obtain over $260 million in grant funding.
- Consulting
Have you tried to obtain for-profit grant funding with limited or no success? Do you want to increase your team’s capacity to research and write “fundable” manufacturing grants?
If you’re looking to empower your internal team to pursue funding opportunities, we offer:
- The tools and assistance to assess and address your “grant readiness”
- Expert coaching as you write an actual grant, to help establish best practices
- A review of your completed proposal against the funder’s evaluation criteria, with detailed feedback to help increase your chances of success.
Lakeview Consulting is exceptional in their abilities to research every angle needed to achieve success! I would recommend their services to anyone!
