Whether you’re looking for grants or investors, obtaining finance can be very difficult. You typically need a strong business plan as a minimum to commence the capital raising process.

Investors or funding bodies will need to know in detail what you intend to use the money for. Visit the Small Business website to download a Business Plan template.

In considering applying for Government funding support to assist with your business operations whether it be for Business Planning, Product Development or Export Marketing activities it is important to prepare your business case as if you were seeking funding from private sources such as financial institutions or private investors.

To discuss your grants options contact our Grants Advisor or visit GrantsLINK which helps you identify funding available under a variety of grant programs for individuals, businesses and communities.
