Grant Writing & Business Plan Packages

Clear, upfront pricing. No percentage of your grant award.

At SMS Business Consulting LLC, we don’t play games with “if you win, I take a cut.”
Grants are never guaranteed – they’re competitive and decided only by the funder – so we charge fairly for the work we actually do, not the size of your award.

Most firms charge thousands of dollars or take a percentage of the grant (which many funders don’t even allow).
Our pricing is simple, transparent, and paid upfront so you always know what you’re investing.

How Our Grant Process Works

  3. Review & Revisions – You review, give feedback, and we make up to two rounds of revisions (Package 3).

  4. Submission (Package 3) – We complete and submit up to 5 grant applications for you and send you copies of everything.

Important Notes & Disclaimer

  • Payment is due upfront before work begins for all packages.

  • Additional revisions or extra grant applications beyond what is listed can be added for an additional fee.

  • No one can guarantee funding. Approval is always at the Grantmaker's discretion. Our role is to create professional, competitive applications that give you the best possible chance.
