Form filling

[Adeptandy]

Thinking about getting a Grant for GPS, Brown & Co will fill the forms for £400 with AS Communications supplying the kit, is this value for money on a max £1800 claim or is it worth risking the form myself ?

I would at least take a look at the form before paying someone else to fill it in. My own hourly rate of an evening is a heck of a lot less than a land agent... If it takes you 4 hours to fill out the form (and such a claim really shouldn't justify even that long) you will have earnt (saved) yourself £100/hr. Plenty of farmers employ a land agent to do their BPS claims, but when else in the year can you earn (save) yourself £200+/hour.

It took me no more than 15 minutes to apply for the first round.
hardest bit was getting the appropriate numbers together (crn numbers etc).
definitely/ do/it yourself

only put in for what you actually will buy though, you cant drop part of the claim later on. or at least not in round 1 anyway.
And make sure that you can get all of it before the time limit or that can give issues too.

£3k minimum claim as I read it, if I'm right Brown and co should have pointed that out............
How much do you think the whole system will cost you?

Your £1800 is likely to be the max Grant contribution for what you want.
However you have to get to a minimum of £3k grant contribution or it won't be approved.
