How to Run a Subsidised System Development Project — Working Backwards From the Grant Decision, and the Practicalities of Writing the Business Plan (archived 2026-08-30)

Abstract

A system development project funded by a subsidy runs differently from an ordinary one. This article covers, in practical terms, how to schedule backwards from the date of the grant decision, the difference between selection and the grant decision, cash-flow planning for payment in arrears, and how the work of writing the business plan divides up.
