When applying for a grant for a new business, every detail can tip the scales of victory. Many entrepreneurs in Bytom don’t realize that a professional website is not just a tool for acquiring customers – it’s a powerful argument in conversations with the grant committee.

In this article, I’ll show you how a well-prepared website can increase your chances of obtaining funding from the Employment Office, PARP, or other institutions supporting new entrepreneurs.

Key terms in the grant process

Application verification – process of checking application documentation by the grant committee.
Business credibility – assessment of professionalism and seriousness of business preparation.
Professional image – perception of the company as a serious business partner.
Material evidence – tangible proof of real intentions and business preparation.

Why does the grant committee check your website?

You might be surprised that committees evaluating grant applications increasingly check the online presence of potential beneficiaries. This is no coincidence – a website has become one of the most important indicators of a new entrepreneur’s credibility.

What does the committee verify online?

1. Reality of business intentions

Whether the company actually exists or is just “on paper”
Whether the entrepreneur will take business seriously
Whether they already have any marketing activities

2. Level of substantive preparation

Understanding of today’s market and necessity of online presence
Professional approach to brand building
Awareness of target customer needs

3. Business potential

How the company will acquire customers
Whether they have planned sales channels
Whether they understand their industry’s specifics

Good to know: According to 2024 research by PARP, entrepreneurs with professional websites had a 35% higher chance of positive grant decisions than those without websites.

What website elements convince the grant committee?

A professional website is more than just a nice appearance. It’s a complete ecosystem that must show the committee that you’re prepared to run a real business.

Essential elements that increase your chances:

1. Professional appearance and consistent visual identity

Modern, responsive design (working on phones)
Consistent color scheme and typography
Company logo (even a simple one)
No technical errors or typos

2. Complete contact information and NIP

Company address (if you have an office)
Mobile and landline phone
Professional email address (e.g., contact@yourcompany.pl)
NIP number in visible location
Business hours

3. Detailed business and service description

Clear definition of industry and specialization
Description of services with customer benefits
Information about experience and qualifications
Price list or price ranges

4. Professionalism proof

First customer reviews (even if they’re friends)
Certificates and qualifications
Photos of equipment or office
Terms and policies (GDPR, terms of service)

5. Trust-building elements

Privacy policy and GDPR clause
Terms of service
Information about warranties and quality guarantees
Company registration data

How does a website affect grant application credibility assessment?

When the grant committee sees that you have a professional website, you automatically gain points in several key areas:

1. Professional credibility

A website shows that you:

Invest your time and money in the business
Understand modern marketing mechanisms
Are consistent and take action

2. Preparation level

A professional website proves that you:

Conducted customer needs analysis
Know how you’ll acquire customers
Have planned specific business actions

3. Development potential

A good website shows that you:

Think long-term
Invest in brand and image
Understand the importance of online presence

Local context: In Bytom and throughout Silesia, a professional website is particularly important because the region is dynamically developing, and customers increasingly search for services online before making purchase decisions.

Website creation costs vs. grant chance - ROI analysis

Many new entrepreneurs fear the costs of creating a website. However, it’s worth viewing this as an investment that can pay off multiple times.

Cost and benefit comparison:

Standard professional website costs in Bytom:

Basic business card website: 1500-2500 PLN
Website with extended functionality: 2500-5000 PLN
E-commerce website: 4000-8000 PLN

Potential benefits:

Increased grant chances (usually 20,000-50,000 PLN)
Professional image in customers’ eyes
Better Google positioning
Ability to acquire customers 24/7
Greater credibility in business negotiations

ROI analysis: If you spend 3000 PLN on a website that increases your chances of a 40,000 PLN grant by 30%, you statistically gain 12,000 PLN in value. Even if the website doesn’t increase chances (unlikely), you still have a professional tool for customer acquisition.

How to quickly create a website for grant application?

If you have limited time before submitting your grant application, you need to act strategically. Here’s an optimal action plan:
