Great business ideas don't come around every day. When they do, many people, especially students, often don't have the money or the knowledge to get themselves off to a good start. This is where Fish Food can help!

Fish Food is a fund specifically created to help student businesses get off the ground. It's open to all undergraduate and postgraduate students, and even graduates up to 2 years from your date of graduation. You can apply up to £2,500 of matched funding/investment through a business plan, accompanied by a dragon's den style presentation and offer of some return on investment.

If your idea needs some development, you can also apply for proof of concept of prototypes funding up to £499. Social enterprises can also apply for grants of £50-£100.
