Which grant pool are you applying for?
Innovation, Startup, Research and Development (R&D)

How do you plan on using your grant funding?
Holtmore Partners is a full-service firm, offering financial accounting, bookkeeping, financial reporting, investment advisory, and stock market consulting to companies across the Commonwealth.

As a licensed Accountant and Entrepreneur, the firm is built on and with expertise rather than physical goods, meaning we can technically operate with zero startup capital. However, grant funding will allow us to establish a credible, competitive and visible presence from day one, rather than grinding from nothing.

Our business model is a retainer-based one. Client businesses pay a fixed monthly fee in exchange for ongoing financial management and fiscal advice. We will also provide regular reporting and strategic advisory. This creates predictable recurring revenue for the firm, and a simple high-value arrangement for clients who would otherwise struggle and juggle finances themselves. We are targeting new and growing businesses that need professional financial oversight but cannot yet afford a full internal finance team.
Grant money will be used to secure proper office space in a desirable area, as well as hire expert accountants to help.

We will use part of the grant to fund billboards and other advertisement opportunities to get our company out there, and use a smaller part of it as an operational reserve fund for staff payments as the firm scales, early investment opportunities, and unforeseen business costs.

Ideal Grant Amount 75000
