Grants Strategies for SMEs

1 - Free Assessment buttonGet cash to fund your business

Grants should form part of every SME’s funding strategy. There are grants available to SMEs across all industries and at all stages of their businesses life cycle, from establishment, development, pre-commercialisation, go to market and exporting.

Apart from providing the added injection of cash SMEs need to fund their growth and key business strategies, consideration of grants is increasingly being viewed as an important element of good corporate governance.

Every year over 600 Federal, State and Local Government grants
with a combined total value of approximately $50 billion
are made available to Australian SMEs through various funding bodies
at a Federal, State and Local level.

The challenge for SMEs is, knowing where to find them and how to successfully apply for them. This is made harder by the fact that all these grants are spread across many government agencies, each with their own criteria, application process and sometimes ongoing reporting requirements.

To address this, MPR Group utilises a grants database that is maintained and constantly updated to give us current information about the many grants available to SMEs. We use this database to identify grants that can provide the cash support an individual business needs to pursue a particular project or initiative or to devise a comprehensive grants strategy to support the ongoing goals and objective of your business.

Our grants strategies enable you to take advantage of all your funding opportunities, not just the big ticket grants that are highly competitive and most businesses apply for.

Taking this longer term approach to obtaining the cash your business needs, allows you to maximise you cash and proactively execute your funding strategy in an efficient manner.

Our years of experience with grants and assessment of your eligibility will help reduce the risk to your business and improve your odds of getting a better result for your time and effort invested in pursuing grants.
