Good to know
Common questions.
Choose the support that fits the way you want to work.
Can I apply for funding myself?
Yes. The DIY course guides you through the business plan and application preparation so you can complete and submit your own application.
What happens with the done-for-you option?
Book a call first. We'll discuss your business and the support you need. If we work together, you'll provide the key information and approve the plan and application before submission.
Can one person receive £100k?
The £100k figure is the maximum for one business when multiple eligible owners apply individually. For the funding option described here, one person's application is capped at £25k. Every application is assessed separately, and funding is not guaranteed.
Is the funding a grant?
No. This funding option is a repayable loan. Check the full terms, affordability and eligibility before applying. We can help you understand the application requirements, but the funding decision is made independently.
Can you help after the application?
Yes. We can discuss a website, CRM setup and access to accountants or other professionals as separate business setup support. We will confirm the scope during your call.
