Default Small Business Grants in Australia

Hi everyone
We have an idea for a new online project and a portion of the development is out-sourced to another company. We were wondering if anyone knows of any organisations (and if you were successful), in applying for a small business grant for up to $50,000. We have a Detailed Business Requirement (DBR) and Business Plan ready to go. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Mick

Thanks Patrick, sorry I'm a little new to this 'forum thing'. I'll give it a go.

Hi Mick,
Unfortunately there are very few Government grants for pure start ups that will give money for seed funding.
The best one I know of is the City of Melbourne Start up grants. http://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/info...a=4482&pg=4488
My advice would be the 3Fs for investment (Friends, Family & Fools) otherwise trying any number of business plan competitions. I secured $30,000 in funding for my last start-up. I have listed three of them on my website
http://www.government-grant.com.au/faqs/

Hope that helps

The Government has just launched Commercialisation Australia - plenty of money for start ups looking to commercialise something. Happy to answer any questions.

Hello

Have your tried your local Business Enterprise Center? They are a good first step for small business with limited funding.

All the best
