Yes you can, as long as its NQF4 or above. At the time of extention, you might have to explain it in covering letter that why did you change.

You can switch as long as its above NQF level 4 or above. Plus in your extension application you still need to give evidences that 50k was invested within your first or second business.[/list]

As mention by other members if ur business is at Nqf level 4 than no problem but u still have to meet of the criteria ...eg funds investment and job creation.

Or if u applied under 200 k category than u can change it to anything no probs.
