Common questions
- Is it the official form?
- Where there's an official form, yes: we fill in that form, the real one the council or agency publishes, and add a checklist, a cover letter and divider pages. You sign it and send it yourself. Some grants are only applied for online, like SUSI, SEAI's portal, Enterprise Ireland and most Local Enterprise Offices. There's no form to fill for those, so the pack sets out every answer in the order the online form asks, and you type it in. Each pack says which it is before you buy.
- Do you apply for me?
- No. HeyPenny is a form-filling tool, not your agent. You send the pack, and whoever runs the grant decides: your council, SEAI or the agency.
- What if I'm turned down?
- The pack is for making the application, not a promise of the grant. If something in the pack is wrong because of our mistake, we fix it or refund you.
- Is this legal advice?
- No. These are grants you apply for yourself, without a solicitor. Where something needs one, the pack says so.
