Looking for a Subsidy Scanner alternative?
If you've been using Subsidy Scanner to find UK grants and want another option, Subvention is a free, no-signup grant finder that matches live grants to your business and links every result back to the official funder. Enter your company name to see what you may be eligible for.
Grants change frequently — always confirm eligibility, amounts and deadlines with the funder via the linked source. Subvention does not guarantee funding.
How Subvention compares
Subvention is built around two things grant-seekers ask for most: no cost to search, and results you can trust. Here's what you get:
- • Free to search and match — no subscription and no signup wall to see results.
- • Matched to your real Companies House profile (sector, region, size), not a generic list.
- • Every result links to the official funder's own page — nothing is invented, and each match is explained.
- • Deterministic matching: the same profile gives the same results, with the reasons shown.
- • UK and European coverage — central government, devolved, lottery and EU funding, refreshed daily.
Why people switch
People look for an alternative for different reasons — wanting something free, avoiding a signup wall, or simply having a second source to cross-check. Subvention is designed to be quick to try: there's no account needed to run a search, and because every grant links to its source you can verify each one yourself in a click.
