Catalyst Solutions provides a tailored, full-house service to unlock saving opportunities across government grants, R&D Tax Incentives, decarbonisation and ESG optimisation. We uncover the funds you need to grow with unparalleled expertise and a rigorous devotion to global compliance.
As trusted advisors for large listed companies,
privately owned businesses and pioneering SMEs.
Cash accessed across multiple incentive
schemes across 4 countries.
More mechanisms to recoup savings through Tax
Incentives, grants and emission reduction programmes.
It becomes extremely challenging to stretch your internal resources across the complexities of grants and Tax
Incentives while maintaining the endurance needed for iron-clad ESG compliance and reporting. Every opportunity requires vastly different processes. What never changes is our attitude to getting it done.
We transform your costs into high-value reinvestments for your bottom line with our engineer-grade process, loved by CFOs.
A relentless, detailed review process that asks the kind of questions that unearth between 10% and 70% savings on qualifying investments.
Drive down your energy costs and track your performance to prevent those energy costs from creeping up again.
Decarbonising your business and unlocking growth while securing your place as a global leader in a low-carbon world.
Our ESG platform for enterprises with intricate ESG reporting demands that turns unbearable stress into shareable success.
We represent the leap from “Thanks, funds received”
to “Wow! We didn’t even know we could claim so much more!”
We find opportunities in places most won’t know to look. Our technical and financial specialists identify opportunities that go overlooked, ensuring that nothing is left on the table.
Government-led funding opportunities of any kind require meticulous validity. Our process is built on technical rigor, financial accuracy, and airtight compliance—because in this space, details make the difference.
Most companies can’t adapt to evolving government regulations. This keeps us up at night, knowing businesses risk non-compliance and losing funds. So we sweat the small and big stuff for you, ensuring you have access to the latest opportunities.
While Catalyst Solutions is a challenger in the market, our team brings decades of experience handling high-stakes applications across jurisdictions. We blend new-player agility with veteran expertise to offer fresh perspectives in unexpected areas.
