Small businesses are being encouraged to apply for a State Government grant of up to $15,000 to help boost turnover, increase their workforce or improve resilience.<\/p>\n

Small Business Minister Di Farmer said information about the next round of Business Boost grants was now available.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrevious recipients of the grant have used the funds to do a range of business boosting projects such as introducing an online booking system, redeveloping websites, building a tailor-made workplace health and safety system and staff training,” Minister Farmer said.<\/p>\n

To be eligible, small businesses must employ less than 20 employees and have had a turnover between $300,000 and $600,000 during the past financial year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Businesses will need to co-contribute at least 30 per cent of the total cost of their proposed project with grant funding paid to successful small businesses following completion of the project.<\/p>\n

To manage applications, a new two-stage process has been introduced.<\/p>\n

Businesses must register their interest to apply by completing an online form.<\/p>\n

Registrations will be open from 9:00am on August 12 and will close at midnight on August 19.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Businesses will then be selected by ballot and invited to complete a full application.<\/p>\n
