Applications are open for the Skyewise Foundation ₦15 Million Business Grant 2026, an entrepreneurship funding opportunity for individuals with promising business ideas, existing entrepreneurs looking to expand, and people interested in starting a trade or business.
The initiative is part of MTC 6.0 and is designed to provide financial support to selected entrepreneurs who have viable ideas or businesses with the potential to grow and create impact.

About the Skyewise Foundation Business Grant
The Skyewise Foundation Business Grant is designed to support people at different stages of their entrepreneurial journey.
You do not necessarily need to already have an established business to be considered.
The programme specifically welcomes:
- Individuals with a promising or viable business idea.
- Entrepreneurs with an existing business that is ready to scale.
- Individuals who want to start a trade or business.
- Applicants whose business idea or existing venture has the potential to grow and create impact.
The Foundation has announced a total of ₦15 million in business grants for selected entrepreneurs and promising businesses. Importantly, the ₦15 million represents the total grant pool announced for the initiative; it does not mean that every successful applicant will individually receive ₦15 million.
Benefits of the Grant
Successful applicants can benefit from:
1. Business Grant Funding
Selected entrepreneurs will have access to business grant funding from the ₦15 million total grant pool.
2. Support to Start a Business
People who have viable ideas but have not yet started their businesses can apply for funding support to help turn their ideas into an operational business or trade.
3. Business Expansion Support
Existing entrepreneurs whose businesses are ready for expansion can seek financial support to move their ventures to the next stage of growth.
4. Turning Ideas Into Businesses
The opportunity is also designed to help applicants with viable ideas move from idea stage to an operational venture.
Who Can Apply?
The grant is targeted at aspiring and existing entrepreneurs.
You may be eligible if you fall into any of these categories:
- You have a promising business idea.
- You have an existing business that is ready to scale.
- You want to start a trade or business.
- You have an idea or business with the potential to grow and create meaningful impact.
The opportunity therefore caters to more than established business owners. Someone who has a viable business idea or wants to start a trade can also be considered.
What Makes Your Business or Idea Suitable?
Applicants should be prepared to demonstrate that their idea or business is viable and capable of growth.
The programme specifically highlights applicants who can demonstrate the potential of their idea or business to:
- Grow
- Develop into a sustainable venture
- Create impact
If you already operate a business, you should be able to clearly communicate what the business does, its current stage and why additional funding would help it move to the next level.
If you are applying with an idea, you should be able to clearly explain the idea and how the grant would help you turn it into a functioning business or trade.
