There are two funding portals, one focuses on BUSINESS funding the other covers COMMUNITY funding - this is the BUSINESS portal.
BUSINESS is best suited to Ltd companies, PLC’s SME’s, sole traders, start-ups, and other commercial entities.
COMMUNITY is best suited to charities, voluntary organisations, CIC’s, social enterprises, CIO’s, charitable trusts, and foundations and other voluntary, community sector organisations. Register on both, if you choose.
