Complete support for funding and finance to assess the best options for your business

Need funding to take your business to the next level? Capti Innovation specialises in securing non-dilutive funding through innovation grants and R&D finance, alongside access to wider funding options where appropriate. With over 16 years’ experience and hundreds of successful projects, we help businesses identify and apply for the most suitable funding routes, from grant funding to aligned private investment opportunities. We also work with established funding networks and partners to broaden access to capital for innovative companies. Our focus remains on helping you secure the right funding to support growth, innovation and long-term success.

What is best for your business?

There are several types of funding available, each with different requirements, timelines and levels of risk. Some funding routes are faster to secure, while others may require greater security, detailed applications or come with specific conditions and costs. Choosing the right option is essential to ensure funding supports your growth rather than restricting it. At Capti Innovation, we focus on helping businesses secure non-dilutive funding—particularly innovation grants and R&D finance—so that financial support acts as a catalyst for progress, not a constraint on your operations.

Finding Non-Dilutive Funding Made Simple with Capti Innovation

Funding Options

Most business funding falls into three main categories: debt, equity, and grant funding. Debt finance involves borrowing money and repaying it over time, usually with interest. Equity finance involves raising investment by selling a share of your business to investors, which may include venture capital, angel investment or other private equity routes. These options can be highly valuable for growth-stage companies and, where appropriate, we can help you identify and access aligned equity investors alongside grant funding opportunities. Grant funding is non-repayable and non-dilutive, meaning you do not give up any equity in your business. In some cases, grants may require match funding or co-investment to unlock support. Many businesses use a blended approach, combining debt, equity and grant funding depending on their stage of growth and objectives. However, at Capti Innovation we specialise in non-dilutive funding—primarily innovation grants and R&D finance—helping businesses secure capital without giving away ownership, while also advising where equity options may strengthen your overall funding strategy.

At Capti Innovation, we believe in mastering one thing and doing it exceptionally well—securing non-dilutive grant funding for innovative businesses. To deliver the strongest possible outcomes, we work alongside leading UK funding partners, giving you access to a broader range of funding opportunities while we focus on what we do best: winning innovation grants and R&D funding that drive real growth.

7 Questions to Guide Your Non-Dilutive Funding Strategy

  1. 1. What are you funding?
    Are you developing a new technology, scaling a startup, or expanding an existing business? Different non-dilutive funding routes—such as innovation grants and R&D funding—are designed for different stages and objectives.

    2. How much funding do you need and what will it be used for?
    Clearly defining your funding requirement and how it will be allocated (R&D, prototyping, hiring, or commercialisation) is essential to identifying the right grant or non-dilutive funding opportunity.

    3. What is your funding timeline?
    Some innovation grants and R&D programmes operate on fixed application cycles, while others are rolling. Understanding your timing helps align your strategy with available funding windows.

    4. How innovative or high-risk is your project?
    Non-dilutive funding is often designed to support high-risk, high-innovation projects that traditional finance may not support. The more innovative your concept, the more suitable grant-based funding may be.

    5. What is your organisation’s track record?
    Previous trading history, technical capability and delivery experience can strengthen your eligibility for competitive innovation grants and R&D funding programmes.

    6. What is the true cost of funding?
    With non-dilutive funding, you retain full ownership—however, grants may require match funding, compliance reporting, or delivery milestones. Understanding the “cost” in time and delivery effort is key.

    7. Is your funding strategy aligned with long-term value?
    The best non-dilutive funding decisions support sustainable growth, not just short-term cash flow. Consider the return on innovation impact, capability building and long-term commercialisation potential.

R&D tax credits UK - through our specialist funding partner. Capti Innovation does not offer this service as we prefer to concentrate on Innovation Grants !

R&D tax credit is a cash payment from the government to encourage companies to undertake R&D and other innovation activities. R&D projects must be science or technology-related, but HMRC’s definition is broad and includes investments in information systems, data, cloud computing, mathematics (new addition) and more.

 The range of people doing qualified work is constantly expanding. Various events in recent years, including the pandemic and Brexit, have forced companies to increase their innovation to overcome constraints. If you’re a startup or developing processes and products to meet growing market demand, you’re likely eligible for research and development (R&D) tax credits. Research and development tax credits can be applied for up to two years prior to the application date. This gives you time to organize your business and ensure all eligible activities and costs are covered. Our trusted specialists will help you maximize your claim by identifying innovative activities while streamlining the process and handling your case for you.
