Small and family businesses can apply for grants of between $50,000 and $75,000 with a co-contribution of at least 50 per cent of the total project cost required.  

• The program is backed by $3.5 million, with eligible small businesses able to apply for up to $75,000 in funding
• The grant supports small and family businesses across all industries to purchase specialised equipment to deliver business growth.

The Business Growth Fund provides direct financial support for small and family businesses to grow, increase productivity and efficiency, increase market share or develop and expand export opportunities. 

Funding can be used to purchase: 

• Production equipment to meet otherwise unachievable growth demand
• Advanced manufacturing or digital equipment and systems
• Advanced logistics systems and equipment. 

Minister for Small and Family Business Steve Minnikin said small and family businesses were critical to our communities, creating jobs and supporting local communities.  

The full program eligibility guidelines and conditions are available at business.qld.gov.au/growthfund where registration of interest can also be submitted by 30 January 2026. 

Small and family businesses generate $131 billion for the Queensland economy and employ more than 1 million Queenslanders.
