Funding for Australian small businesses

Small business grants and rebates in Australia

Small business funding can support equipment, safer workplaces, hiring, training, energy upgrades and business growth, but each program defines “small business” differently. Check location, entity type, turnover or employee limits, eligible expenditure and whether quotes are required. Some programs require a co-contribution, and many require an application or written approval before you order equipment or begin work. Au Grant Monitor organises reviewed opportunities from official sources and helps you compare them with your business profile. It is an independent private service: the administering agency makes every eligibility and funding decision.
