Deadline: 5-Mar-21
The Corangamite Shire Small Business Assistance Program (SBAP) aims to encourage businesses, new and existing, located in the Corangamite Shire to innovate, adapt or diversify for business growth.
Priority will be given to projects that look at new ways to do business, adapt and diversify. However, all small businesses wanting to complete an upgrade or looking at ways to improve how they do business will be encouraged to apply.
Funding Information
An example of a business applying to the program would be:
- Business – $5,000 (exc. GST);
- Council – $5,000 (exc. GST);
- Total cost – $10,000 (exc. GST).
Businesses will be able to contribute over the $5,000 amount if they want to complete a more significant project but would still only be eligible for $5,000 (exc. GST) from Council.
