Grow It award
The Grow It Award offers up to £5,000 to help you take your business to its next stage of growth. It is open to current QMUL students and recent graduates who are already trading. You have customers, you have made sales, and you know what is holding you back.
You have validated your product, you have paying customers, and you know what needs to happen next. Maybe it is stock you cannot afford to buy in volume, a piece of equipment that would double your capacity, or marketing that would reach the customers you know are out there.
Eligibility:
- you or one of your team member is a current QMUL student or graduated within the last three years
- You have a registered business (limited company, sole trader, CIC or equivalent)
- You have made sales to real customers and can evidence some revenue
You aren't eligible if:
- You are a current international student. Due to T4 Student Visa restrictions, we are not able to fund you or your business idea.
- You have not yet validated your business idea and/or generated some revenue.
We encourage you to book an idea surgery with the Enterprise team before submitting your application.
