| N-SIP GEAR UP FOR GROWTH AT PREMIER HUB |
- BUSINESS FUNDING, TRAINING AND MENTORSHIP!!
No matter how brilliant a new idea or discovery is, it can never flourish unless someone takes a bet on developing it.
A wise man once said that the graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is where you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream.
“Seed Funds!” If you’re starting a business, nothing sounds better.
Looking for seed funds for your business?
We're thrilled to share that Premier Hub Innovation Centre Business Funding and Incubation Support Application is ongoing.
