Business to Business (B2B) Grant Program 2026-27

Small businesses in the City of Whittlesea that are members of the free Whittlesea Business Network, hold an active ABN, are the named owner or tenant on the lease, have suitable insurance and can show they are financially viable. Stream 2 is for businesses with 5 or fewer full-time equivalent staff. Funding is paid after you've matched the spend.

Up to $10,000 (matched dollar for dollar)

Closes 31 Dec 2026. Late applications are rarely accepted.

The listed criteria don't require a company, so sole traders may be eligible if they meet everything else (for example ABN, location, trading history and industry). Check the guidelines.

Yes. This program needs a co-contribution from your business, so you'll need cash available for your share of the project, and often to pay costs before you claim.

Someone else can prepare it, but your business is the applicant: you sign the declarations, and most funders expect you to submit it yourself. We prepare the whole application so it's ready for you to review, sign and submit, usually in about 10 minutes. If a funder's rules expressly allow an agent to lodge, we can do it with your written OK after you've approved the final version.

Freelance grant writers in Australia typically charge by the hour or a fixed fee per application, whether you win or not. With Vic Grants Weekly, there's nothing to pay unless you win. If you do, the fee is 12% of the grant money you receive, capped at A$3,000 + GST, and due only once the money is in your account. Where a grant's rules don't allow percentage fees, it's a flat win-only fee from A$99.
