Pre-Submission Review

EU Grant Readiness Assessment & Proposal Review

Have the project, call or draft reviewed before submission. Financely identifies material weaknesses in eligibility, proposal structure, implementation, impact and budget logic.

This service is for applicants that already have a defined project, identified funding opportunity or working proposal and want an independent review before committing to submission.

We compare the file against the applicable call requirements and assess whether the application is internally consistent, sufficiently developed and ready to move forward.

Call fit Scope, expected outcomes, applicant eligibility and programme conditions.
Technical structure Objectives, methodology, work packages, deliverables and milestones.
Impact case KPIs, target groups, exploitation, dissemination and measurable outcomes.
Budget logic Resource allocation, person-months, eligible cost categories and consistency with the work plan.

What We Review

The review focuses on issues that can materially weaken an application: unclear alignment with the call, unsupported objectives, inconsistent work packages, weak impact pathways, missing partner capabilities, unrealistic resource allocation or gaps between the technical narrative and financial plan.

Existing draft or early-stage project

You do not need a finished proposal. We can review a concept note, current draft, call document or structured project file and identify what still needs to be developed before submission.

Applicants requiring full drafting rather than review can use Financely's corporate and NGO grant proposal writing service.

After review, Financely will send an estimate outlining the scope, fee and expected delivery schedule.

EU Grant Proposal Review FAQ

What is an EU grant readiness assessment?

It is a structured review of the project, funding call and existing application material to identify eligibility, technical, financial and submission weaknesses before the applicant proceeds.

Can you review an existing Horizon Europe proposal?

Yes. The review can cover the technical narrative, Excellence, Impact and Implementation sections, work packages, milestones, partner roles, resource allocation and overall consistency.

Can you rewrite the application after the review?

Yes. Where additional drafting is required, we can issue a separate scope for full proposal development or targeted revisions.

Financely is an independent advisory firm and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the European Union or other funding authorities. Eligibility and award decisions remain with the relevant programme or institution.
