Today, I'm coming to you from Lima, on the coast of Peru.
This is the longest video I've done in a long time because there is a LOT of ground to cover - but it is ALL very important to share.
Well, we've had a lot of struggles and a lot of challenges in the last couple of years in business in Australia and all over the world, but it's finally happened;
These initial rounds are significant for a very particular reason - it means that the governments are starting to transition from funding that maintains employment to funding that helps grow and develop businesses.
This is the time to set the ground work for revitalisation & growth.
Queensland Government - Small Business Grant Schedule https://www.business.qld.gov.au/starting-business/advice-support/grants/schedule The updated list of funding has just been announced & the first Round is the Business Basics Grants Program:
Available for business with turnover under $300,000pa
Up to $5000 for any combination of marketing, digitisation, planning & advisory services
Ideal for setting the foundations to access HIGHER amounts of more complex funding, which require this groundwork to be completed
Federal Government - Boosting Female Founders Initiative https://business.gov.au/grants-and-programs/boosting-female-founders-initiative-round-3 The second major announcement is Round 3 of the Boosting Female Founders Initiative
"Between $100,000 and $400,000 (or up to $480,000 for priority groups) for majority female owned and led startups to expand into domestic and global markets"
Available for ANY business with a majority female ownership
My advice is ALWAYS to use basic funding to help prepare for the next level of funding - as in, use the Business Basics Funding to prepare for the NEXT round of the Boosting Female Founders Funding.
The 'old days' of "I'll do it myself, it'll be fine" are, sadly, behind us.
This is why I have developed a 9-step, fully tailored strategy to step through the entire process of business growth;
setups & incubator programs,
intensive financial analysis & reporting,
systemised intensive strategy consultations,
Accelerator program,
investment preparation & funding applications, and
ongoing financial & project management services
Using these services, I have helped businesses access over $4m+ in funding & investment in the past 3 years across a range of industries and at various stages of business. The "Crescendo Strategy" WORKS.
