The Fund is offering grants of up to $5,000 through Stream One, for developing skills and capabilities, including engaging professional services and training. Grants of up to $25,000 will be available through Streams Two, Three and Four, for feasibility studies, infrastructure and equipment upgrades, as well as collaborative business activities where associations or businesses join forces across two local government boundaries.
Helping local businesses
The Fund is available to small businesses that are less than three years old, with a turnover under $1.5 million. It’s also available to new owners of a small business, if they’ve been running it for less than three years.
