According to a report by MSMEonline, the programme targets everyday people with practical ideas, clear plans and the drive to take the next step in their business journey.
The initiative aims to remove the financial obstacles that often stop new founders from turning their ideas into real ventures.
Whether the applicant is starting from zero or trying to scale an existing business, the grant provides a solid push toward financial stability.
What the grant covers
The Business Freedom Grant is designed to support a wide range of needs. Beneficiaries can receive up to $1,000, which can be applied toward essential business costs.
These include startup expenses, marketing, equipment purchases, coaching programmes, software subscriptions and digital tools.
The focus is simple. The grant wants to provide the kind of support that helps founders transform ideas into income, build stability and eventually achieve financial independence.
Who can apply
The eligibility criteria are broad enough to welcome different types of entrepreneurs while still ensuring applicants have clarity and direction.
Ideal candidates include individuals who already have a well-defined business or a clear idea they plan to launch.
Applicants should also be able to present an actionable roadmap for growth and demonstrate readiness to carry out their vision.
The grant is open to product-based, service-based and digital businesses across any industry.

The main requirement is the willingness to complete a short but detailed application that outlines purpose, plans and potential impact.
Why the grant matters
Many promising founders struggle because of limited resources. This grant seeks to close that gap by offering support that can have immediate and lasting impact.
It prioritises clarity, purpose and commitment rather than years of business experience.
By helping people who are ready to take charge of their financial future, the programme is encouraging a new wave of creators, builders and innovators.
The organisers believe entrepreneurship is one of the strongest paths to wealth creation and community impact. With the right support, more Nigerians can take that path with confidence.
How to apply
The application process is straightforward and built around three steps.
Step 1: Review eligibility and scoring criteria Applicants first need to confirm that their idea or business aligns with the grant’s goals. Understanding the scoring system helps them present a stronger application, especially around clarity and impact.
Step 2: Complete the application form This stage requires honest and detailed responses about business goals, target audience and how the grant will support their journey toward financial freedom.
Step 3: Join the founders’ community Membership in the free founders’ community adds bonus points and provides early access to resources, updates and support.
