We prepare and submit the grant application on your behalf, with your power of attorney, and follow the file until you get paid.

This is Aupamos's success-fee grant application handling, designed for self-employed people, SMEs and associations that have found a grant and have no time to fight with it.

We only charge if you get paid. The fee is 15% + VAT of the amount awarded up to €20,000 and 10% + VAT from €20,000 to €100,000.

Above €100,000 we make a tailored proposal. You pay it yourself, out of your own pocket and separately from the grant, once the grant is already in your account.

What success-fee handling is

We handle grants on a success-fee basis.

We take care of managing and processing a specific grant: we prepare and submit the application on your behalf, with your power of attorney, and follow the file until you get paid.

It is not a guide for you to do it yourself.

It is the step after finding the grant: when you see one that fits you, we take care of applying for it with you.

We only charge if you get paid, and you pay the fee yourself, out of your own pocket and separately from the grant.

Who it is for

For self-employed people, SMEs and associations that want to apply for a specific grant and prefer someone else to deal with the administration's online portal and the call's rules.

We offer application handling only to self-employed people, businesses and associations. If you are an individual, you can sign up for the alerts, but we do not handle your application.

Before applying for anything, it helps to be clear about which grant it is and whether your business is the type of applicant the call's rules ask for.

Each call defines who can apply: by size, activity, province or legal form.

Why people hand it to us

Applying for a grant takes time. You have to read rules written in gazette language, gather documents and submit everything through the administration's online portal before the deadline closes.

One of these things usually happens:

  1. You have seen a grant that fits and you lack the time to prepare the application.
  2. A grant was refused because of a missing document.
  3. You want someone to follow the file and tell you about every deadline.
  4. You prefer to pay only if the grant is paid out.
  5. You prefer someone else to deal with the administration's online portal and the call's rules.

A missing document can sink an application. That is why the list of documents is checked before submitting, not after.

How we work: proposal and power of attorney

We give you the proposal with the fee in writing and start when you accept it. That way you know from the outset what you will pay and when.

Submitting an application on a client's behalf requires their power of attorney.

That is why you sign two things: the proposal with the fee and a power of attorney so that we can submit the application on your behalf, which is what Law 39/2015 requires.

A power of attorney is the document with which you authorise another person or company to carry out a procedure for you before the Administration.

It does not change who applies for the grant: the applicant is still your business.

During the process we tell you the deadline the call sets and let you know about every step.

How we handle a grant

  1. You send us your request through the form: which grant you want to apply for and what your business is.
  2. Within 48 hours we reply with the result and, if it fits, the proposal with the fee.
  3. You sign the proposal and give us the power of attorney to submit on your behalf.
  4. We gather the documents with you and submit the application within the deadline.
  5. We follow the file and, when the grant is paid to you, we invoice you the fee.

The process, step by step

  1. Within 48 hours we reply with the result and, if it fits, the proposal with the fee.
  2. You sign the proposal and give us the power of attorney to submit on your behalf.
  3. We gather the documents with you and submit the application within the deadline.
  4. We follow the file, answer any requests from the Administration and let you know about every step.
  5. When the grant is paid to you, we invoice you the fee. You pay it yourself out of your own pocket, separately from the grant, and if the grant is denied, the fee is zero.

The first step is yours: you send us your request through the form and we ask for the eligibility check together. From there, this is what happens:

You sign once you know the result of the check and the fee. The fee is invoiced at the end, when the grant has already been paid.

Questions about handling

Questions about grant application handling on a success-fee basis

How much do you charge?

15% + VAT of the amount awarded up to €20,000 and 10% + VAT from €20,000 to €100,000. Above €100,000 we make you a tailored proposal. You pay at the end, when the grant is in your account, and this applies to any amount.

When is the fee paid?

When the grant has been paid into your account. If the grant is refused, the fee is zero.

Can I pay the fee out of the grant?

The General Grants Law (Ley General de Subvenciones) excludes from eligible expenses a fee calculated as a percentage of the grant, unless the call's rules expressly provide for it. That is why you pay it yourself, out of your own pocket, when you receive the grant.

What happens if it is refused?

The fee is zero. We explain the reason for the refusal and, if there is a period to correct the application or the grant opens again, we tell you what to do.

Do I have to sign anything?

Yes: the proposal with the fee and a power of attorney so that we can submit the application on your behalf, which is what Law 39/2015 requires.

How long does the Administration take to decide and pay?

It depends on each call: the call's rules set the deadline for a decision and payment comes afterwards. We tell you the deadline the call sets and let you know about every step.

Can you assure me that I will be awarded it?

No. No award is ever assured: the Administration decides under the call's rules and its budget. What we do is check that you meet the requirements and submit the application properly and on time.

Do you handle grants for individuals?

No. Application handling is for self-employed people, businesses and associations. Individuals can sign up for the free alerts.

Do you handle Kit Digital?

No. The application period for Kit Digital is closed.
