"How To Get The TCF Small Business Grant Grant"
Dear TCF owner,
Once in a while an opportunity comes along that is just too good to miss...
the TCF Business Grant Program is such an opportunity.
The TCF Business Grant program is for businesses that design or manufacture in Australia and have fewer than 20 employees.
Unfortunately, these grants are very competitive, meaning that the chances of getting this money is relatively low (there are always more applicants than there is funding available).
Before you even consider starting an application, do yourself a favour and answer the
following 4 questions:
- When was the last time you successfully applied for a competitive government grant?
- Do you have time to read through 100+ pages of guidelines and supporting material?
- Do you want to
spend hours on the phone being "transferred" between departments?
- Do you even know where to start?
Now imagine working with experts who specialise in winning government grants - who will do all the paperwork and significantly increase your chances of getting the money.
That's right, we're willing to take on all the risk
associated with applying for the grant. Only when you get the grant, will we get our success fee.
Sounds FAIR doesn't
it? We think so and so do our satisfied clients.
Interested? These are the Next Steps...
If you believe that you might be eligible, please contact Ross (0413791140) or see ...
Round 5 should open in December, 2009 - so timing is VERY LIMITED!
To Your TCF Success,
