Strategic Focus
Helping UK SMEs secure innovation funding via grants, R&D tax credits, and investment, while reinvesting in pioneering clients to fuel national growth.
Today, the company operates across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Manchester, and London . It’s been recognised with awards like Best Boutique Funding Consultancy 2025, a testament to its impact in innovation funding.
With a focus on tax incentives, grants, co-investment, and even plans for a seed fund, Innovative Partners acts as a long-term strategic ally to SMEs — boosting R&D, preserving jobs, and accelerating scale. Its hands-on, client-focused approach has supported businesses from emerging tech startups to established engineering firms, including success stories like Elastik and ValStream, and saving a Scottish engineering company from closure.
