ATTENTION QLD BUSINESSES!

You may be eligible for a $7,500 Business Grant!

To be eligible you need to meet all of the following criteria:

◾ not have been approved for funding under any previous round of the Business Basics grants program
◾ have less than 5 employees at the time of applying for the grant
◾ have an active Australian Business Number (ABN) (you do not need to be registered for GST)
◾ have a minimum trading history of 1 year
◾ have a registered Queensland headquarters location
◾ have a turnover of $300,000 or less for the current financial year
◾ not be insolvent or have owners/directors that are an undischarged bankrupt.

Your business must also maintain this eligibility for the duration of the grant funded activity.

If your application is successful, you can use your grant to snag yourself a shiny new website. We will also train you how to use it!!

This is a non-matched grant, so you don’t need to put any money to match it, and they cover the entire $7,500! If you have a larger project in mind, that’s ok too! They will cover the first $7,500.

We will help you with your application and supply the  quote to go with it. We have helped businesses like yours each round acheive their business website goals!

Complete the form at the bottom of this page to get a quote sent through so you can register your interest in the grant.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This round of grants has two stages – the grant no longer functions on a “first in best dressed” basis.

Stage One is a Register of Interest (ROIs) which is a short form that will ask you to provide core business information and confirm your eligibility to apply for the grant program. Valid ROIs will be assessed through a ballot system with a number of applications invited to move to Stage Two.

Stage Two is the full application where you will be providing all business information and project information and your quotes. Each valid ROI will have an equal opportunity to be selected.

All of the information can be found on the Queensland Business Basics Grants Program website and we highly encourage you to read through it.

Application information

Registrations of Interest (ROIs) open at 9am, Monday 30 September 2024 and close at 5pm, Friday 11 October 2024.

ROIs are not time sensitive and registrations can be completed anytime while the stage is open.

Not all registrations will be invited to submit a full application. You will not be able to appeal if your registration is not selected to move to Stage 2: Full application.

This grant program is competitively assessed. Not all applications will be funded.

Applicants must demonstrate the extent to which the grant funded project will:

  1. enhance the business’s core skills, adopt best practice and survivability;
  2. positively impact long-term revenue growth and gross profit;
  3. be likely to create jobs growth within the business; and
  4. demonstrate value for money.
I have collected information on the Qld Business Basics Grant so it is easily accessible by you.
