How it works

Grant eligibility

What we look at when we review an application, what it costs to apply, and what we will never ask you for.

Who can apply

Owners of a running business, or people with a real, specific business plan.
Applicants who can verify their identity and show the details they give us are true.
People who are putting their own time, effort and resources into the business.

What we ask for

After you apply, your dashboard lists the documents we need (for example identification, proof of business address, bank statements and a short project proposal). You upload them there. We review them and update your dashboard as your application moves forward.

Your own contribution

We support applicants who invest in their own business. At a later stage of review we may ask you to show evidence that you hold about 15–20% of the amount you requested, for example with a recent bank statement.

This is proof only. You are never asked to send, deposit or pay this money to us, to anyone at this organisation, or to any third party. We only need to see that you have it. It stays in your account.

What we will never ask for

Any wallet approval or transfer for your “own contribution”. That step is proof only.
Your PIN, passwords, seed phrase or one-time codes by phone, chat or email.

If anyone asks you for money in connection with a grant from us beyond what is described on this page, it is not us. Do not pay, and tell us at grant@liftgrants.com.

How we contact you

Only through your dashboard and from grant@liftgrants.com. Always check the address before you reply.
