Your real odds
No public acceptance rate exists, but your concept must clear an initial review showing 'excellent opportunity' before anything else moves forward.
This is a support grant rather than a large financing program, so competition is likely moderate, but you still need a credible concept and a confirmed consultant lined up before you apply.
What it takes
Write a business concept summary covering overview, market, management, costs, and financing strategy3–7 days
Source and compare at least three consultant quotes with terms of reference1–2 weeks
Submit the application and wait for approval before the consultant starts any workVaries — do not engage consultant until approved
Worth knowing
Approval must come before the consultant starts work, so if you hire someone first and then apply, those costs are disqualified. Lock in your consultant quotes, then submit.
