Key Features of SME Passport

The Problem

For Start-Ups

Finding the right funding is difficult and applying for it is time consuming, repetitive, and boring. We aim to change that. Our sleek and intuitive platform offers you a ‘digital locker’ to store all your application documents in one secure place. The documents (text, photographs, diagrams, etc.) will be all ready to automatically populate your next application, saving you time and mental energy. 

The Problem

For Funding Providers

Finding the strongest applicants to your funding calls can be challenging: funding calls may not reach their intended audience, and only companies with the resources to apply for funding will answer the call. By streamlining the application process for SMEs, our platform will attract a wider and deeper pool of SMEs to your calls, increasing the quality of applicants and therefore the societal and economic impacts of your funding.

The Problem

For Investors

Making an informed decision on what companies to invest in is a science. Identifying investment opportunities in their early stage before your competitors is hard. Keeping track of companies under review and companies invested in so far is daunting. By providing a centralised platform for SMEs seeking funding, SME Passport can provide your firm direct access to maturing companies. Using our domain knowledge and connections in the SME world, we will also conduct research into promising early-stage companies, and bring the best opportunities directly to you saving you time in your own search.
