Fisheries and Seafood Scheme (FaSS)
Defra, forvaltet av Marine Management Organisation
APPLIES TO ENGLAND ONLY — applicants in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are referred to their own administrators. Up to £750,000 per applicant per year. Projects over £250,000 go to an expert panel and require a business case and cash flow forecast. This is an investment scheme, not an R&D scheme: it finances equipment and facilities, not research. Seaweed and aquaculture are eligible.
From idea to completed grant — five steps
- Describe the idea. Company name and a few sentences about the project — registration number and sector are fetched from the registry.
- Check your chances. Granteon assesses the project against the criteria in Fisheries and Seafood Scheme (FaSS) and tells you honestly whether it can be won — before you write.
- Write the application. The AI writes from your own facts, scores the draft like an award committee, and delivers it field by field within the portal's character limits.
- Complete the financing. Your own contribution is calculated. You can obtain a signed conditional commitment from an investor, and find consortium partners when the call requires them.
- Deliver and report. Reporting plan, draft reports and budget tracking after the award — until the final report is filed.
