Proposal & grant writing in Lagos

What this service includes

A proposal sets out a response to a specific need, including the work, outcomes, timetable and cost. A grant application follows a funder’s requirements and explains why the project fits its objectives and eligibility criteria.

• Business proposals and service proposals tailored to a client brief.
• Grant application narratives and project concept notes.
• Project objectives, activities, outputs and implementation plans.
• Executive summaries and pitch-deck narrative.
• Editing and consistency checks against supplied application instructions.

When professional help is useful

A generic proposal can spend pages describing the organisation and still fail to answer the buyer’s question. A grant application can be weakened by an unclear link between the problem, planned activities and budget. We help organise the response around the actual criteria, evidence and decision the reader must make.

The details that make the document useful

For a Nigerian SME or nonprofit, the starting point is the official opportunity notice and the facts about the applicant. We map the required sections, flag evidence you need to supply and check the narrative against the stated scope. Budget figures, beneficiary data and past results must come from reliable records or clearly identified assumptions. Submission responsibility and any portal work must be agreed separately.

How we work on your brief

You send the opportunity guidelines and background documents. We assess the writing scope and deadline, develop a response outline and identify unanswered questions. After drafting, your team reviews technical commitments, figures and eligibility statements. We finalise the agreed document after consolidated feedback.

Project teams in Lekki and Ikoyi can share instructions digitally and nominate one reviewer. This service sits within our professional business writing in Lagos and is available for remote briefs across Nigeria.

What affects the price?

Application complexity, research, interviews, word limits, budget narrative and available time determine the fee. We cannot guarantee a grant, award or contract. If the deadline leaves too little time to check the evidence properly, we will discuss a realistic scope before accepting the work.

What to send before we start

• The original request for proposal or official funding guidelines.
• Eligibility information and the exact submission deadline.
• Project objectives, work plan, budget and supporting evidence.
• The person responsible for approvals and final submission.
