THE FINE PRINT, SIMPLIFIED

A few things
worth knowing.

Know what you’re applying for, and what the support actually covers.

Are credits the same as a cash grant?

No. Credits generally offset eligible spending with a provider. A cash grant funds approved activities under the funder’s rules. Membership and support programs may offer neither.

Does a match mean I qualify?

No. The matcher suggests relevant programs using your selected needs and location. It does not assess your full eligibility or predict approval. Funding, company age, incorporation, referrals, and other provider requirements may apply.

Is this an AI eligibility assessment?

This first version uses transparent matching rules, not an AI assessment. Each suggestion explains why it appears. Always confirm requirements with the provider.

Where are my saved programs stored?

Your shortlist stays in this browser’s local storage. No account is required, and it does not sync across devices. Clearing browser data removes it.

Can I apply for more than one program?

You can explore multiple opportunities, but each provider sets its own rules on previous benefits, overlapping funding, eligible costs, and credit expiry. Check those terms before combining support.
