Queensland Government is offering $5,000 grants available for eligible small businesses, round 4 opens at 9 am on the 24th of November, so now is the time to prepare your application.

This time around, round 4 has two streams – one for South East Queensland businesses and one for regional Queensland businesses.

As a business in these regions, you may be eligible to obtain a single, up-front grant payment of $5,000 (excluding GST) to cover the five priorities outlined below. It is important to note that the Queensland Government will not fund activities that have a cost lower than $5,000 (excluding GST), or activities where payments are made before the approval date. As a grant applicant, you must be approved for a grant before you pay for grant-funded activities.

What Can the Grants be Used For?

As with previous rounds of the grant, this program is really to provide support to businesses to assist them with increasing their skills and adopting best practices in their industry. The five funded activities that are supported by the grant include:

  1. Training and coaching

  3. Professional business advice
  4. Strategic marketing services
  5. Business continuity and succession
