This grant, administered by the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (DESBT), requires no co-contribution from the applicant. The funding is paid upfront upon approval, so you can begin working on your business goals immediately.

The grant covers the following key areas to help boost your business:

• Professional Business Advice: Get expert guidance on how to navigate challenges, plan for growth, and optimise operations.

• Strategic Marketing Services: Receive professional support in planning and executing marketing strategies to attract more customers and grow your brand.

It’s important to note that eligible projects must have a total cost of at least $7,500 (excluding GST). Any expenses over this amount will be the responsibility of the applicant. Additionally, activities funded by this grant must not begin until the Stage 2: Full Application is submitted.
