Funding Opportunity: Business Basics Grants
Queensland Government
The Queensland Government provides specific support for the small business sector through the Big Plans for Small Business Strategy. The Business Basics grants program (Program) provides support to businesses to increase core skills and adopt best practice. The Program is competitive, meaning that applications are competitively assessed against the assessment criteria and not all applications will be funded.
Applicants can apply for funding for grant funded activities in one of five priorities:
- Training and coaching
- Website build/upgrades
- Professional business advice
- Strategic marketing services
- Business continuity and succession
The Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (DESBT) manage the grants.
Program outcomes
The expected outcomes of the grants program are to:
- increase confidence for business owners across core skills;
- boost turnover, profit, and employment; and
- improve business survivability and resilience.
What funding is available?
For this round, there are two funding streams based on what Local Government Area (LGA) eligible businesses are headquartered. These LGAs are grouped into either South East Queensland or regional Queensland. If successful, applicants will receive upfront fixed grant funding of $5,000 (excluding GST). Successful applicants do not have to co-contribute to this grant; however successful applicants must pay for any related expenses in excess of the $5,000 grant funding.
