Things we could not confirm

  • Course dates listed as 2 June to 7 July with no year; the page was last updated 27 May 2026, so the year is not certain and dates are not recorded.
  • Page does not say whether applications are open or when they close.
  • Business eligibility is not stated beyond women starting or growing businesses; the programme is for individuals, so businesses_can_apply may be unclear.
  • Business stage listed as Start-up on the page.
