Funding Options
Ake can connect and support you with a wide range of funding options to help your business, Ahu Whenua trust, iwi or organisation reach its aspirations.
We have extensive experience and knowledge of different types of Government and Māori-specific funding, including the Provincial Growth Fund.
We can help you establish what funding you might be eligible for, and then collate and organise the right information for funding proposals. Once funding is underway, we can also undertake any progress reports required by the funder.
Why is it best to involve a professional when applying for funding rather than doing it yourself?
We have experience in funding applications, know what the funding provider is looking for, and also how best to present the information. And from the funding providers perspective, having a qualified accountant on board proves the viability of the business idea.
We’ll work with you to prepare cash flows and forecasts, ensure your data and reporting is correct, and that you have all the information required by the funder.
We make managing funding easier with the latest software & tools
Using cloud accounting software gives you up-to-date data for funders, at your fingertips. We can also support you with tools that allow you to tweak forecasts and scenarios to reflect different outcomes.
