- Before we are able to invest in your business we will need to undertake a due diligence process. Please make sure you complete all sections of the application fully and accurately. The more information you give us the easier it will be to assess the investment potential of your company.
We prefer applications online rather than on paper and you are likely to get a quicker response.
- If you choose to apply on paper, a downloadable and printable PDF of our application form is below.
Please Note:
We recommend that you seek independent professional and financial advice if your initial application is successful and, following more detailed discussions between us, you wish to proceed with your funding application.
As part of the reviews BGF will undertake in assessing potential investments, certain background checks will need to be pursued on key individuals, such as majority shareholders and Directors.
