The small business digital grants program is open.
This is a wonderful opportunity for eligible small business owners to apply for a digital grant of up to $10K in matched funding.
In the last round, I delivered professional websites and digital coaching as part of the grant funding.
The Small Business Digital Grants Program can assist small businesses to access digital technologies and services to help them work smarter, engage with the global economy and make the most of online business opportunities arising from digital disruption.
