Funding programmes with application deadlines in the next 14 days (23 Feb - 09 Mar 2026). Act quickly on these opportunities.
All current programmes have deadlines beyond this period. Browse new programmes or check all active funding opportunities.
Many South African funding programmes have fixed application windows. Missing a deadline by even one day means waiting for the next cycle, which could be 6-12 months away. Track closing dates to ensure you never miss an opportunity.
Keep your core documents updated and ready: CIPC registration, tax clearance, B-BBEE certificate, 3 years of financials, and a business plan. With these in hand, you can submit a quality application within days.
The most common reasons for rejection are incomplete documentation, not meeting basic eligibility criteria, and poor financial projections. Use our readiness checker to identify gaps before you apply.
After submitting, keep copies of all documents and note the reference number. Follow up within 2 weeks if you haven't received acknowledgement. Continue running your business as evaluation can take 4-12 weeks.
