About this opportunity
WIMBIZ, Women In Management, Business And Public Service, runs the Impact Investment Opportunity as a business plan competition with money attached. The organiser's announcement states grants of up to ₦6 million for businesses in food and beverage, sustainability, innovation and other eligible categories, and the programme page describes the round as an investment competition rather than a fee award.
The page sets the entrant profile plainly: a nationwide business plan competition for young Nigerian women running start-up businesses or businesses less than 3 years for investment opportunities, aiming to equip at least 3 female entrepreneurs annually. Nigeria only, so this is a domestic round rather than a continental one.
The 2026 round closes on 23 October 2026, the date printed in the organiser's own announcement. The programme page itself does not print a 2026 closing date, so confirm the round on WIMBIZ communications before you budget time, and submit through the current year form the organiser names rather than an older link.
If you are inside the profile, the practical work is the plan itself: what the investment buys, where the business is in its under three years, and how the money moves it forward.
