Small business grants across Australia

Find small business grants for growth, capability building, digital adoption, exports, innovation, equipment, training and regional development.

Before you shortlist

Small business grants are often labelled as business growth, capability, digital, export, regional development or innovation programs. Eligibility can depend on turnover, headcount, industry, location, project purpose and matched funding.

Applicants need to check whether the program fits their business stage and whether they can gather the required evidence before the closing date. A tempting funding amount is not useful if the project, timing or applicant type does not match.

Growth and capability
Programs may fund advisory support, digital projects, training, equipment, marketing, exports or operational improvements.
Matched funding
Many business grants require co-contribution, quotes, budgets and evidence that the applicant can complete the project.
Recurring rounds
Some programs reopen periodically, so tracking related grants helps teams prepare before the next round.

Check before you apply

  • Applicant eligibility by size, turnover, industry, ABN status and location.
  • Matched-funding rules, eligible expenses and project completion dates.
  • Evidence required before submission, including quotes, budgets and financial records.
  • Whether similar programs exist in nearby states or national rounds.
