Queensland Business Growth Fund

The Business Growth Fund grants program (Program) targets small-to-medium high-growth businesses who can accelerate growth, drive the Queensland economy and employ more Queenslanders.

The grant funding assists the business to purchase and implement highly specialised equipment to enable the business to move to the next stage of growth.

Program Outcomes

Funded businesses are expected to increase business confidence by:

  • improved growth transitioning from small to medium sized;
  • increase productivity, turnover, profit and employment by 20%; and

  • automating, scaling-up, increasing market share, diversify and/or exploit exporting opportunities.

If successful, applicants will receive a single up-front payment of up to $50,000 (excluding GST) and not less than $25,000 (excluding GST).

A co-contribution from the applicant of at least 25% of project costs to purchase and implement the specialised equipment must be provided.
