Covid-19 Business Support Grant
A new Covid-19 Business Support Grant has been announced by the South Australian State Government to assist small and medium businesses that suffer a significant loss of income as a result of the Covid-19 health restrictions.
Eligible employing businesses can apply for a $3,000 cash grant, whilst a $1,000 cash grant is on offer to eligible non-employing businesses.
To be eligible for the one-off $3,000 grant, a business must, as at 12:01am Tuesday 20 July 2021:
