01

Identify the type of support

Do you need machinery, working capital, skills, market access or expansion finance? Some programmes provide equipment or mentoring rather than money paid to your bank account.

02

Understand the eligibility conditions

Check ownership, age, location, sector, registration, trading history and whether the programme supports your business stage. Do this before preparing a long application.

03

Prepare evidence of a viable business

Useful documents can include registration and tax records, bank statements, a business plan, customer orders, supplier quotations and realistic cash-flow projections. Never submit private documents to an unofficial intermediary.

04

Use official application routes

THUSO21 is a reference directory, not a funder. Verify all current requirements, opening windows and application instructions directly with the provider. Approval is never guaranteed.

Use this as practical general information, not financial or legal advice. Confirm provider terms and regulatory questions with official sources or an appropriate professional.
