I am thrilled to announce that my business has been selected as a “Preferred Business Supplier” to participate as a service provider, and you can apply for a $2,000 (+gst) voucher to work with me to help “elevate” your business! You can check out my offer here.

Maribyrnong City Council is running a grants program again this year called the Business Elevate Program. The premise of this program is to encourage business to business (B2B) interaction, transactions and support within Maribyrnong City. It is launching at 9am on 25th September 2023, and further information will be available here https://www.maribyrnong.vic.gov.au/business-elevate

A total pool of $100,000 is available for the Business Elevate Program.  The program has a selection of local businesses who are located (and registered) in Maribyrnong referred to as “preferred suppliers” to provide their services to other local businesses who need support in order to grow and “elevate” their businesses to the next level.

Our offer, plus a list of all the “Preferred Suppliers” who have been approved to participate in the Business Elevate Program are listed on the Maribyrnong City Council website https://www.maribyrnong.vic.gov.au/business-elevate

Local businesses within 12 defined categories have provided a description of the products/services which they are able to provide - valued at $2,000 (+gst). 

How do you apply to be matched for a Voucher?

Small Business Owners located within Maribyrnong can now apply for a voucher to receive services from the nominated Business Elevate Program - Preferred Suppliers.  A total of 50 local businesses will receive a $2,000 voucher and be matched with their preferred supplier, once they nominate which business from the “preferred business supplier list” that they would like to work with. 

Small Business Owners will be awarded their vouchers on a first in best dressed basis, per category.  Therefore the speed of application will be very important.  The first 50 eligible businesses that meet all the relevant assessment criteria, will be considered as final and the application process will close. No further businesses will be considered, as the number of $2,000 vouchers is capped at 50 business recipients.

It is advisable that business owners looking to apply for a voucher should carefully consider what their business needs are right now in order to grow or evolve, and select the preferred supplier they would like to work with accordingly. There is a stack of great local businesses to work with.

Applications for Small Business Owners to receive a Business Elevate Program $2,000 Voucher will be communicated via the Maribyrnong City Council Business Bulletin, website and social media, and will be processed via the Smarty Grants online applications platform.

All applicants are encouraged to read the guidelines and discuss any concerns with Council Officers before applying. 

NOTE:  There is a $200 (+GST) activation fee payable by the applicant to their Preferred Business Supplier once successfully matched. 

So please take some time to review my offer on the Maribyrnong City Council Website, and if it is appealing to you, I hope that you take this opportunity to apply for a voucher – and have the chance to be matched to work with me. 

Thanks to the support of Maribyrnong City Council for this awesome initiative!

Good luck…and don’t forget to move quickly on this one.
