Use when
You operate a registered Nigerian creative or cultural business and can provide a project plan, business records and financial documentation.
Skip when
Your business is outside the creative economy or you require a guaranteed pure grant before reviewing the offered instrument.
Status (20 Aug 2026): the official Phase 2 portal currently exposes both a Grant Application and a regular funding application. Phase 2 targets SMEs and MSMEs. Instruments can include grant, equity, loan or blended finance; the public page does not state a universal ticket size, so applicants should verify the exact instrument and repayment/dilution terms shown in their application.
