Funding to boost digital

SMALL businesses wanting to boost their digital and online presence can now apply for funding of up to $10,000 under the latest round of Queensland Small Business Digital Grants.

Minister for Employment and Small Business Shannon Fentiman said the grants could help business owners work smarter and make the most of online opportunities.

“The funding is also helping recipients purchase hardware such as drones and 3D printers,” she said.

To be eligible for funding, small businesses must have fewer than 20 employees, have an Australian Business Number (ABN) and be registered for GST, have a turnover of $2 million or less in the last financial year and be based in Queensland.

Applications close on April 11. For more information including application forms, guidelines, terms and conditions, visit www.business.qld.gov.au/digital.
