FAQ’s

Why should I apply for a grant?

If your business is growing and you want to implement a new project or deliver a new service that will take you to the next stage of growth, then a grant may be for you. 

A grant may provide your business access to the necessary resources to access new markets, build the skills of your workforce, employ more people, adopt advanced technologies or implement new processes and improved practices. 

In short, a grant may be just what you need to successfully implement that new project or deliver that new service and do it in a way that enables your business to have a positive impact on your industry, region and community.

 Are all grant applications successful?

Securing a grant for your business is extremely competitive.

Factors that can affect your application's success include: your business's financial track record; past and current growth; dedication to your current employees; focus on creating new jobs; using effective practices and embracing new technologies. Also, funding providers will consider how your project positively impacts your business's growth, your industry, your region, and your community.

It is good to note that even though an application may be unsuccessful, a comprehensive and thorough proposal may not go unnoticed by a grant provider. Positive outcomes in other ways may still eventuate later.
