A fantastic resource for finding all the best grants, loans, and accelerator opportunities for impact businesses. Through their support, I've unlocked schemes like Coralus, which offers interest-free long-term loans, and the Cartier Women's Initiative.

Considered Capital is the #1 best resource for social impact entrepreneurs who need to fundraise. I won the Innovate UK Unlocking Potential Award worth £50,000 and the Cartier Women's Initiative, both of which I found through Considered Capital. Both these awards have been game-changing for my business.

This has already paid for itself x3 in funding and partnership opportunities. We learned about and applied for the Tata Varsity Pitch through Considered Capital, which brought in £15,000 and a £2,500 grant from SomeFund.
