It’s no secret that Fiverr’s goal is to change the way the world works together. We also know that getting started can feel overwhelming. Sometimes you need more than just a new branding, brand strategy, or website—you need all of the above! So we’re launching a Fiverr UK Micro-Grant program to help worthy doers kickstart their ideas.
And the best part? Applying is easy! We’ll be giving away four micro-grants of £500 in Fiverr credit to UK-based entrepreneurs and small to medium-sized businesses per month. You can apply every month and receive up to two grants per calendar year. All you have to do is answer one simple question: what would you use the money for?
Haven't started your startup IRL yet? You can apply with a business idea, too. Tell us a bit about what your business idea is and we could be supporting your start-up journey.
