How to apply
- 1
Check you are in one of the four eligible sectors
Agriculture and agribusiness, food processing, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, or fashion. The application form offers no other option, so a company outside those four cannot complete it.
- 2
Gather the three mandatory documents first
Commercial registration certificate, memorandum of establishment or articles of association, and audited financial statements for the last three consecutive years. Every upload must be PDF and under 10MB. The three years of audited statements are the item most likely to delay an application.

Complete the ten-section registration form
The form runs from enterprise basics (legal name, year of establishment, legal status, commercial registration number, TIN) through contact details, sector and markets, size and finances, ownership and leadership including a classification of women-owned or youth-owned, then three long-form questions, the document uploads, and the commitment declaration.

Write the three long-form answers
Company description covering background, ownership, value proposition and target customers; business challenges across operational, financial, market, regulatory or organizational areas; and the support areas you need.
