Use when

You run a registered Ghanaian SME past the micro-enterprise threshold and want co-funding for growth investments.

Skip when

You are a micro enterprise or a solo founder without a registered SME - you are explicitly ineligible.

Status (8 Sep 2026): the programme runs in application rounds through the SME-GO portal - check the portal for the live window. Eligibility is explicitly restricted: only small and medium enterprises qualify, and micro enterprises plus large corporates are excluded. Grant amounts and cost-sharing ratios are set per round, so confirm the current terms on the portal before preparing documents.
