ROUND2 - Small Business COVID-19 Adaption Grant Program

On Wednesday 1 July 2020 the Queensland Government will open ROUND 2 of its Small Business COvid-19 Adaption Grant Program.

The objective of this program is to support small businesses subject to closure or highly impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) shutdown restrictions announced by the Queensland Government, to adapt and sustain their operations, and build resilience.

The available grant amount is up to a maximum of $10,000 per eligible small or micro business.

Are you eligible?

Grants are being awarded on a first in first served basis.

Round 1 was closed after 10,000 applications were submitted within 3 days!!

To be eligible your business must be able to demonstrate an impact from the restrictions imposed due to Covid-19.
You must also have at least 1 employee. Unfortunately, if you are a sole trader or a director or trustee working within your business (but not actually employed) and you have no emploees you are not eligible. This sucks, I know!
Your business also needs to have a turnover of at least $75,000 for last financial year or 2019-20 financial year.
There are more eligibility criteria so please contact me to discuss your business.

3 Easy Steps

1. Check your eligibility

Complete and submit the eligibility form in the link below. This is absolutely free and there is no obligation for you to proceed.

2. I'll provide a Quote

If you're eligible and wish to proceed, I'll provide a quote to work with you to develop a Business Recovery Strategy. You will need to submit this quote with your grant application.

3. Submit your application

Once your application is approved we can start to work together to review your business and work towards building a stronger more profitable business.

Together we will prepare a
Covid-19 Business recovery strategy

What to expect

A strategic review of your entire business
Together, we will reset your business and personal goals for the next 1-2 years and beyond
I'll document a Business Recovery Strategy personalised to your business and your goals
I'll also prepare an Action Plan to implement the Business Recovery Strategy
Together we'll start implementing whatever changes the Strategy recommends to strengthen and grow your business and improve its profitability.
If you are not familiar with the grant acquittal process I'll also help you with this to make sure you comply with all the rules.

How is it done?

Once your application is approved we will schedule a series of meetings to do a ‘deep dive’ into your business. These meetings can be done via video conference. I call this the Alignment Phase.
The Alignment Phase will cover all aspects of your business. Together we will systematically review the core areas of your business. Some areas you will be very familiar with and others you may not have considered in detail.
This will include a detailed review of your business’s online presence and digital capabilities.
I’ll then prepare a document to guide you on what areas of your business may need attention and I’ll provide recommendations on which ones are the highest priority. This will be your Business Recovery Strategy.
Together we will then prepare an Action Plan to guide you to implementing the recommendations from your Business Recovery Strategy and to help you focus on what to do next and what is most important.
With whatever time we have left, I will continue to support and coach you towards achieving each action in your plan.
We will meet (video conference/phone or face to face) on a regular basis (probably fortnightly) over a 12 week period to review your progress, address any issues and explore new iniatives.
Over the entire 12 week period I will be your personal business coach.
At the end of the 12 week period you will have clarity and confidence about your business and its direction.
Your business will be stronger and more profitable and ready to rebound from this crisis.
