KPMG's Free Programme Turns Ambitious Small Business Ideas Into Investor Magnets

KPMG Private Enterprise Access has opened applications for its next fully funded, four-month programme. Aimed at ambitious small business ideas, it helps companies prepare for major funding rounds. Previous participants have described it as a key step in gaining confidence, expertise, and investor connections.

The scheme supports firms with strong growth—those targeting a significant raise within 12 months and showing at least 20% year-on-year expansion. Three cohorts run annually, including specialised tracks for female founders and tech-focused scale-ups.

The programme is structured to make small business ideas investor-ready for Series A funding. It covers essential topics like financial modelling, pitching techniques, and crafting compelling investment documents. Participants also explore the specifics of Series A rounds in dedicated modules.

Beyond group sessions, each company receives personalised advice from KPMG specialists in tax, legal, and corporate finance. This one-on-one support ensures tailored guidance for complex fundraising challenges.

To join, small business ideas must commit to attending all modules and respecting confidentiality rules. Registration begins with an expression of interest, followed by a full application. The scheme does not disclose participant numbers or regional breakdowns, but it remains open to high-growth small business ideas worldwide.

KPMG Access runs three distinct cohorts each year. One focuses on female-led startups under 'Founded by Her', while another, 'Future of Tech', targets AI and tech scale-ups. Both tracks follow the same rigorous structure, ensuring all participants leave with refined strategies and stronger investor networks.

The programme has already helped companies secure funding by sharpening their financial and pitching skills. Small business ideas that complete it gain access to KPMG's expert network and practical tools for scaling. Applications remain open for those meeting the growth and fundraising criteria.
