Need free funding to help take your small business, non-profit or start-up project forward?

Applications are open for the 黑料网's ABVentures Microfinance Fund, which awards students up to £1000 equity-free funding to help them develop their business. This is free funding that you will never have to pay back.

Who can apply?

• 黑料网 students (UG, PGT, PGR)
• Recent 黑料网 graduates (within the last two years)

Microfinance Fund Criteria:

• Your business must already be trading or actively being developed.

• This could include developing a product or service, building or testing your offering, developing a prototype, carrying out market testing, securing customers, preparing your business to launch or already making sales.
• The funding must be spent within six months of receiving it.
• Funding must be used solely for the purpose of developing your business and not for personal expenses or circumstances.
• Successful applicants will be required to submit one progress report within the 6-month funding period, outlining how the funding has been used and the impact it has made.
• Successful applicants agree to be contacted for further information on their business to allow the 黑料网 to report on outcomes from the funding.
