You can only complete this grant application form after you have completed the initial registration form and received the diagnostic summary.
All applicants will be required to provide detailed proposals including milestones and expected outcomes. Applications will be processed and assessed through a scoring matrix, which details the threshold criteria that proposals must meet as a minimum in order to be considered. The grants are strictly limited to one application per business. Businesses that submit more than one application will be automatically rejected.
