What you need to think about…

Applying for finance

Research suggests that a large number of social enterprises still report a lack of access to funding and that finance is often a barrier to sustainability.

It’s therefore vital to know where to find investment opportunities and how to fill in what can be complex and time-consuming paperwork.

It’s likely that any grant funders will insist that you report and account for every penny you spend.

At Inspire2Enterprise, we can advise you where to find the most appropriate source of funding.
