Searching for funding just got easier
Your time is valuable, so we've partnered with Fundica to offer a search engine that makes it quicker and easier for businesses and nonprofits to find financing.
With its intelligent filters and advanced customization features, it pinpoints specific subsidies, tax credits, government loans, loan guarantees and incubators and accelerators that meet your needs.
5 types of funding and support
Quickly get recommendations for different sources of funding to help you reach your goals.
Grants
Grants do not need to be repaid. They are usually provided by governments to support certain initiatives and are generally paid out before or during the investment period.
Tax credits
Tax credits are government refunds or tax reductions to encourage certain investments. They're usually provided after the investment period.
Government loans
Government loans need to be repaid but generally have better terms and conditions than other loans. They're usually paid out before the investment period.
Loan guarantees
When the government acts as guarantor of a loan, it agrees to pay some or all of the loan amount in case the borrower (the organization) cannot. Loan guarantees are provided before a loan is granted.
Incubators and accelerators
Incubators and accelerators are organizations that offer a range of support services and funding for certain types of organizations.
