Verified UK funding fit, explained before anyone wastes time.
Claima helps accountants and SME teams compare funding opportunities against published criteria, understand cautious fit signals, and organise reusable evidence for review.
Two ways into Claima.
Whether you advise SMEs on funding or are weighing a scheme for your own business, the entry point is different. Pick the one that fits.
For accountants
Review funding fit with evidence your practice can inspect. Use Claima to see source-traced opportunities, cautious fit signals, evidence gaps, and next actions before advising SME clients.
For business owners
Understand what funding fit means before chasing the wrong scheme. See what information may be needed, what a cautious signal looks like, and how to involve your accountant or adviser.
Funding advice is hard
to do safely at scale.
UK grant funding is fragmented across funders, portals, and schemes that open and close on different calendars. Accountants advising SMEs need a way to check fit against published criteria without putting their judgement at risk.
Sources are fragmented
Find a Grant, Innovate UK, regional agencies, sector funders — each with its own listing format. Knowing which opportunities are live, which are closed, and which are awarded-project records takes hours per check.
Eligibility is judgement, not search
Scheme criteria are published. Whether your client matches them is a careful read against company facts. Generic discovery tools surface long lists; what accountants need is a defensible signal against the published criteria.
Evidence is rebuilt every time
Most of the evidence funders ask for is the same evidence funders asked for last time. Without a structured library, every new application starts from scratch and lives in a different folder.

Evidence. Decision log.

See what Claima produces.
Before you sign in, here is the actual output: a traceable decision log, a source-traced opportunity, and a reusable evidence vault. Every signal is a cautious fit signal against the funder's published criteria — funding-readiness, not a verdict.
Human review required before use. The funder decides.
Claima does not decide eligibility — the funder decides. Every opportunity traces back to its official source.
Reusable review material. Human review required before use.
- Does not guarantee funding
- Does not decide eligibility
- Does not auto-submit
- Does not show historical awards as live grants
The funder decides. A human reviewer must check every draft before it leaves Claima.
The pack we hand back.
When a check is worth taking forward, Claima assembles an application pack in eight parts — the briefing, the evidence, the draft material, and the gaps still to fill. It is review material, organised for your practice to inspect.
Reviewed by a human before it reaches you. You submit through the funder's portal. The funder decides.
Reusable evidence
you can take to any funder.
A structured proof library in nine categories. Build it once with your client and reuse it across every application.
Reusable across applications. Reviewed by your accountant. Not automatic submission.
Source-traced.
Structurally separate.
The taxonomy below defines what counts as a live application source and what does not. Awarded-project records are research intelligence — they are never presented as applyable funding.
- Every opportunity is traced to its official funder source.
- We do not surface closed schemes as live.
- We do not surface awarded-project records as applyable funding.
- We do not list opportunities our source taxonomy cannot verify.
- Verified sources: Find a Grant · Innovate UK Funding Service · regional agencies.
- Awarded-project intelligence (UKRI Gateway to Research) is kept structurally separate and never shown as a live application source. Refreshed every 24 hours.
Every check is logged.
Every signal is cautious.
A decision log is what your practice presents to a client. The four fields below are the spine of every Claima check — never a verdict on the application, only a cautious signal against the funder's published criteria.
A fit signal is not a verdict. It is a traceable explanation.

advising SME clients.
Most SMEs come to grant funding through their accountant. Claima is being built around that relationship — source-traced opportunities, cautious eligibility signals, and reusable evidence your practice can review before anything reaches the client. We are speaking with a small number of practices ahead of opening the private beta.
Private beta is
review-led.
We are speaking with a small number of accountants, advisers, and SME teams before opening access more widely.
