The Queensland Government’s next round of their Business Basics Grant will open on Thursday, 4 May.

These grants fund small businesses for business coaching and marketing initiatives to support their growth.

This couldn’t come at a better time, with our industry moving out of covid restrictions only to be faced with staffing shortages.

If you are finding your salon is a very different business to what it was 12 months ago, coaching can provide you with the strategies you need for your salon and staff including:

Coaching for owners and learning to build under-performing areas
Training your Manager and reduce staff churn
Review salon policies and procedures to ensure your salon's optimal performance
Training your team in service and retail strategies

The Business Basics Grants are for $5000 of services delivered within four months from the grant approval. Applications will close when a sufficient number of applications have been received for a competitive review, which means it’s best to apply as soon as possible after opening.

Being prepared to apply upon opening is advised, as applications will close as soon as a sufficient number of applications have been received to meet a competitive review. This will include reviewing all the guidelines and eligibility requirements and preparing statutory declaration and sourcing service quotes that will support your application.

Eligibility and application requirements and information on how to apply can be found here.

Wishing you a success with your application!
