Chasseur de Primes

What Chasseur de Primes does

Chasseur de Primes is a Belgian grant acquisition and subsidy advisory firm operating as a trade name of Makeda Consulting SRL (VAT: 0811 789 931), headquartered at Chaussée de La Hulpe 185 in Brussels with a secondary office in Mons. Founded in 2009, the firm specializes in identifying, optimizing, and securing public grants and subsidies for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) — defined under EU criteria as fewer than 250 employees, turnover under €50 million, or balance sheet under €43 million — as well as for "starters" (companies less than 4 years old) located in the Brussels-Capital Region and Wallonia. The service covers investment, consulting, digitization, training, recruitment, export, innovation, and tourism grants, with reported grant coverage rates ranging from 2.5% to 75% depending on project type, company size, and region.

The firm's core offering is a full-service consulting engagement running from initial free diagnostic through dossier preparation, administrative interaction, and final payment collection. The technology layer is minimal: a website-based lead-capture workflow, direct phone and email consultation, and a project manager team that handles client files. Distribution is direct-to-consumer, with sales-led outbound, organic social (LinkedIn, Facebook), content marketing via blog and case studies, and a free diagnostic as the primary conversion event. The customer base spans more than 3,500 clients over 15 years, with named logos in pet care retail (Canine), food manufacturing (Didden), digital marketing (hello7), IT services, legal services, and food retail — predominantly small and medium-sized Belgian businesses.

The commercial model is strictly outcome-based: Chasseur de Primes is remunerated exclusively when grants are successfully obtained, with no upfront fees and no payment if applications fail. The firm self-reports €44 million in cumulative grants obtained for clients and €140 million in client investments supported. Operations are run by a small team of 5 employees, including Managing Director Guillaume Dewispelaere (Civil Engineer & MBA, partner since inception), partner François Damien (joined 2024), and incoming Business Development & Marketing Manager Sarah Gurnet (returning 2026). The firm has no external institutional funding, no subsidiaries, and no acquisitions; its only recognized certification is the Shifting Pact® label for CSR/ESG, obtained by Makeda Consulting in December 2025.
