FIG works with young entrepreneurs starting up, or wanting to start up a business of their own. They support entrepreneuers throughout the business development stage, providing great support in finalising your business plan.
FIG also provides an opportunity for entrepreneurs to gain investment for their businesses. Investors can search for opportunities of interest to them online, and then get in touch with the entrepreneur that they would like to invest in. Within this online community, investors are called 'FIGureheads'.
How do I apply for FIG's help?
If you are a young entrepreneur, especially an undergraduate or graduate within the last 5 years, then FIG will work with you to finalise your business ideas and help you get off the ground.
The first step is to either build your business plan online at the FIG website, or 'FIG Seeds' (you) can attend a Meet & Greet event.
Once this is done you can access your own profile online at the FIG website. You can benefit from the Strategic Partners and Sponsors that FIG work closely with, giving you professional business advice free or at a heavily discounted rate.
Once your business idea is finalised and has passed the investors due diligence process, you will create a business pitch and investors will be able to browse the FIG Website to find opportunities to invest in. If they like your business - you may get some investment!
Do I have to pay for the FIG service?
No, entrepreneurs do not have to pay for this business advice, resources, support, and access to investors. However, FIG does take a 5% equity share in businesses that find investment through their website.
