Grant Solutions is a national consulting company (headquartered in Melbourne) specialising in obtaining government grants for businesses.

We’ve found that while businesses excel in their day to day activities, they are unaware of available grant opportunities. The businesses that are aware of government grants simply do not have the resources and experience to adequately prepare an application.

Despite spending valuable resources, jumping through hoops and filling out mountains of paperwork, most are unsuccessful in obtaining grants.

Grant Solutions solves this problem by submitting grant application on behalf of clients... successfully getting the money. Below is a brief video of Ross Turetsky, the Managing Director, talking about the company.

Company Background

Perspective clients often inquire about the origin of Grant Solutions – where did the idea come from and how the company started.

 It’s a type of question we enjoying answering, taking us back in time to the start of this journey.

Our founder, Ross Turetsky, participated in many business plan competitions while completing his undergraduate degrees at Melbourne University. Over time he developed an uncanny ability to communicate the value of projects – which led to winning prizes and scholarships.

This ability was later recognized in the corporate environment where Ross:
•    Developed an innovation framework for a Big 4 bank. 
•    Consulted (as a Senior Business Analyst) to 10 state government departments and worked on 37 different projects.

So when a friend asked for assistance in getting a $50,000 government grant from a local council, Ross seized the opportunity and successfully got the money.

In 2007, when golf courses were eligible for water grants, Ross cold-called 97 Victorian golf courses regarding this opportunity. Surprisingly, most were not interested- even though the service was offered on a “no win, no fee” basis (clients didn’t have to pay anything until they got the money).

Only 3 golf courses decided to go ahead (and 2 of these clients later changed their mind). So after spending 4 weeks talking on the phone, Ross was left with 1 client (who unsuccessfully applied for this funding 4 times previously).  Things were not looking good at this stage…. but 3 months later the application was successful and the client got around $150K.

Ross went back to the 96 golf courses and this time signed up around 20 clients, who were now interested! Sadly the Rudd government withdrew this funding after winning the 2007 election … much to the disappointment of everyone involved.  Yet despite this, Ross saw an opportunity – and 1 month later Grant Solutions was born.

Things have changed significantly over the years … fortunately Grant Solutions no longer needs to cold-call.  Instead, perspective clients find Grant Solutions through “word of mouth referrals” or by searching the Internet for help with government grants.
