Business Basics grant program

The countdown is on for the opening of the Queensland Government’s new $10 million Business Basics Grant program.

Eligible small businesses across the state will be able to apply for a $5,000 grant to increase core skills and adopt best practice when the program opens on 31 May 2021. Guidelines for the program are now available, interested small business operators are being encouraged to review the details, check your eligibility and gather supporting documentation well ahead of the opening date.

The program is a great opportunity for small businesses (including non-employing and micro businesses, and new and emerging businesses with less than 20 employees and a maximum turnover of $300,000 for the current financial year) to access funds to improve basic capabilities. With everything from website upgrades to strategic marketing projects to training and coaching sessions eligible for funding, we anticipate the grants will be very popular. Applications will close when funds are anticipated to be exhausted. So the message is simple—prepare in advance and be ready to apply!
