Grants up for grabs for Small Business Month

The 2022 Small Business Month will be held in November on International Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Day (United Nations) that raises awareness of the contribution small businesses make to sustainable, inclusive and resilient economic growth. 

The theme for the 2022 Small Business Month of “Connect for Success” reflects the desire of small businesses to network, connect with peers and experts to grow their businesses.

In NSW the number of small businesses grew 4.1 per cent to almost 800,000 in the year to June 2021 and employs almost 1.8 million people. As a result, NSW small businesses now employ 136,000 more people than in 2019-20.

Australia’s larger corporations are also invited to become collaboration partners in supporting NSW small businesses as they emerge from the challenges of the past two years.

NSW Small Business month will be held closer to its original programming after the 2021 program was rescheduled to March 2022 on account of the pandemic.

Applications for grants will open on 4 July and close on 5 August 2022.
