What are Innovate UK Innovation Loans?
Innovate UK Innovation Loans offer between £100,000 and £2 million in debt financing with attractive, below-market interest rates and other generous repayment terms. Delivered through the Future Economy Competition, Innovation Loans are designed to help SMEs commercialise innovative projects by funding late-stage development activities like prototyping and piloting.
Applying for an Innovation Loan requires expertise in both corporate finance and technology. You need to demonstrate that your project is innovative while proving your company is in a financial position to repay its loan. Experience preparing compelling submissions for Innovate UK also comes in handy. That’s where GrantTree comes in.

1
Data Collection
We collect the technical and financial data we need for your application. Like the rest of our service, this step is designed to take up as little of your time as possible. Rather than engaging your finance team, we’ll ask your accountants or pull figures from your accounting software. Instead of lengthy back-and-forths with your technical team, we’ll host structured interviews with the relevant people.
2
Technical Storytelling
Once we have the required information, we’ll begin preparing your application for the Future Economy Competition. Our PhD-level grant writers will focus on the aspects concerning your project–its delivery, the market opportunity, and the related risks. They will weave their answers into a compelling, cohesive narrative that captures your assessor’s attention and convinces them of your project’s potential.
3
Demonstrating Loan Suitability
While our grant writers focus on the project-related elements of the application, our credit team will demonstrate, in Innovate UK’s words, your suitability for a loan. To do this, they will assemble information concerning our company’s ownership, revenues, and liquidity. They will then formulate this data into a watertight financial argument that will pass muster with Innovate UK’s credit team.
4
Application Support and Forecasting
We'll support you up to and beyond the moment your application is submitted. Based on the information you provide us during steps 1 and 2, our credit team can prepare financial records and forecasts for your company. These are valuable tools you can use to inform strategy and outside investment.
