The Visa Foundation is inviting applications for its CatalyseHer programme, designed to support women-led businesses across the UK. The three-year initiative will provide 500 women entrepreneurs with micro-grants of £5,000, alongside training and community-building support to help them grow their businesses and become investment-ready. Delivered in partnership with social enterprise organisation INCO, it supports early-stage businesses with a focus on social and environmental impact.
To be eligible, businesses must be less than five years old with an annual income below £2 million. There are two learning tracks for this cohort: the Fundamentals Track for early-stage businesses with an annual income under £50,000 who are looking to refine and strengthen their business model; and the Impact Track for those ready to scale their social impact.
Applications close on the 7th September 2025.
