On 16 June, the NSW Government announced that it was rolling out further support for small business. This support follows the $10,000 small business support grant which closed on 30 June.
From 1 July, small businesses across NSW will be able to apply for funding of between $500 and $3,000 to help them meet the costs of safely reopening or upscaling their operations. These costs must be incurred from 1 July 2020 and can include:
- Business advice & continuity planning
- Cleaning products & additional cleaning services
- Fit-out changes
- Staff training & counselling
- Marketing, communications & advertising
If you have claimed the $10,000 support grant previously, you may also be eligible to apply for this $3,000 recovery grant.
