Grant Newsletter - June 2010
Dear Friend,
It’s been a while since our last Newsletter as we’ve been busy helping our clients get government grants.
Fortunately we’ve just finished submitting them all … so this is an opportunity to update everyone on what’s happening.
Due to a high of demand for our services, we’ll be gradually expanding and adding additional MBA consultants (through our relationship with the Melbourne Business School)… so we can be confident that our clients are getting the best advice.
‘Hot’ Government GrantsBelow are 3 current government grants you should consider applying for.
