The eventual winners will be given grants of between N1-10 million (FREE of CHARGE). In applying for this grant, these are a few Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) that should set you on a right footing. Is YouWiN a Loan that would be paid back? No. It’s a free grant from the Federal Government. Do I need to know anybody to apply for this YouWiN Grant?

If we consider it viable, then you can either apply directly or we apply on your behalf. Our understated terms & conditions apply here. My Computer Generated Password is Complex & Confusing, can I change it? Upon filling of your biodata, an email will be sent to your mailbox giving you a computer generated password. The moment, you login to your account information page for the first time, go straight to the 'change password tab' and change your password to what you are more familiar with. Note: The YouWin information pages can be erratic atimes logging you out several times. Don’t be worried, just patiently login until you are in. Remember so many applicants are logging in nationwide.

You will need to first of all provide your correct Biodata, then you will fill in the form for your business application (See the Green Button on the Right) which takes general information about your proposed or existing business. The questions from the business section will include; Business Description, Select your Industry Sector, Marketing Information, Management Information, Product Evaluation, Profitability, YouWin Award Section, Financial Information and Other Additional Information. How can I manage the space given to me by the Business Plan template? You will have to carefully choose the words you use, so as to capture the true essence and content of your business plan application. Every field has an allocated acceptable number of words. If you exceed the specified number of words, the space would turn red, telling you that you have exceeded your words limit. Visit www.youwin.org.ng Can I save my work and resume filling my information? Yes. You can save your fill form online in parts. Infact, you are advised to save your work at every point you fill in a new information because of our erratic internet connection. Alternatively, fill all your information in a Microsoft word document, then copy and past into the YouWiN application form. Whichever is convenient for you. I can fill the Microsoft Word part, but I have problems with the financial section. Yes. This is expected because not every business person has Accounting knowledge.

We do not collect any upfront payment.

PAT4HOT: Evrything for Naija na bussiness opportunity Everything in Naija isnt business opportunity. I am a business development and financial consultant and part of my training is to solve human problems. I will be glad to see young people access this grant, rather than keep complaining that the FG isnt doing anything for the youths. Unfortunately, our youths are more disposed to playing sports betting and baba ijebu. They have forgotten that they also have the capacity to invent their own thing. |
