WHY USE ADVISORS

There are many opportunities to obtain funding at all levels of U.S. government. However, working with the government can be confusing and often difficult to navigate. The amount of information available online can be overwhelming and hard to sift through to determine which program is the right one for your project and/or company. A&M can help. We have experts that know this space and are aware of all the latest legislation, announcements and requirements to successfully obtain funding. Advisors lessen the burden on your day-to-day operations and give you the required bandwidth as well as the technical expertise to deal with the government. Instructions for obtaining funding often lack sufficient detail but experienced advisors provide the needed clarity to focus your application on the most important determinants of success and viability. Advisors help you plan and assess the readiness of your business/project and ensure that you are fully prepared to embark on this process. With the right advisor, you understand and can efficiently maximize the benefits received. Once you receive funding, an advisor is critical to navigating stringent regulatory requirements and complex compliance issues that follow.
