Alright, Queensland business owners, gather ’round because I’ve got some exciting news. The Business Basics Grant is open for applications again! If you’re ready to level up your business, now is your chance to snag $7,500 (excluding GST) to give your operations a serious boost.
Applications close October 11, 2024, but there’s a twist: this time, it starts with a Registration of Interest (ROI). That means you need to submit a quick form, and if you’re selected (fingers crossed!), then you move on to the full application stage.
Let’s break down the basics before you dive in:
Who Can Apply?
To be eligible, your business needs to:
- Be based in Queensland
- Have fewer than 5 employees
- Be registered with an ABN and registered for GST
- Have a turnover between $75,000 and $300,000
What Can You Spend the Grant On?

- Training & Coaching: Level up your skills or your team’s.
- Marketing & Branding: Want a shiny new website or SEO strategy? This is your moment.
- Strategic Planning: Need to get serious about that business plan? The grant’s got you covered.
- CRM Systems: Yep, automating customer follow-up just got easier.
