We have compiled these 5 tips below to help you have a seamless application.

1. Business Idea: You need a business that is either running, and not more than 3 years old since inception, or a business idea (business plan) that is relevant to recent market demands and/or trends.

  • Valid Government-issued Identification
  • Official Business Registration Certificate
  • Official Evidence of Business Ownership

If all you have is a business idea, you won’t be required to upload any of these documents in your application.

3. Online Application: The application can only be completed online through the APPLICATION PORTAL through the TEFConnect platform on the TEF website. Every applicant is expected to answer all the questions marked compulsory within the application period in order to stand a chance to qualify for selection into the programme.

4. Selection Criteria: Applicants are judged and selected based on 5 core criteria, they are:

  • Feasibility of the idea
