How to use the portal

Practical guidance for completing your application and working with your reviewer.

Starting an application

From the dashboard, click + New application to launch the wizard. The wizard walks you through Company Profile, Project Overview, Finance Request, Business Model, Financials, ESG / Impact, Documents, and Review.

Saving progress

Click Save draft in the wizard to keep your work without advancing. Save & continue moves you to the next step. You can return to any step at any time before submission.

Uploading documents

Open Documents from your dashboard or from any application. Each required document type has its own upload slot. Files are versioned — replacing a file keeps the original history.

Answering advisor questions

If your reviewer needs clarification, you will see an Information request on your dashboard. Open it, write a reply, and optionally attach a supporting file.

Reading your readiness report

The Finance Readiness Report appears once your application reaches the readiness review stage. It summarizes scores across seven readiness dimensions plus advisor remarks.
