We engaged Avant Group to assist with our Export Market Development Grant (EMDG) strategy, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the first consultation, the team was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us navigate the complexities of international marketing eligibility. Thanks to Avant’s support, we feel confident about our application and our broader international expansion strategy.

We highly recommend Avant group in helping us secure government grants and keeping us aware of any current grants relevant to our company. They also only take a fee for their work if the grant is secured. The team are highly knowledgeable, professional, friendly and easy to deal with. In a previous business I worked in, we did grants applications without any assistance and I can say we saved so much time by working with Avant group, and would not go back to doing them on my own.
