Entrepreneurs Programme

What is the Entrepreneurs' Programme?

The Entrepreneurs' Programme is the Australian Government's flagship business support initiative. It provides expert advice, matched funding and connections to help Australian businesses innovate, commercialise new ideas and compete globally. KP Retail helps eligible businesses navigate the programme and access the right support.

What support does the Entrepreneurs' Programme offer?

The programme offers a range of services for Australian businesses at different stages of growth:

• Business Programmes – Matched funding and expert adviser support to help businesses improve capabilities, increase competitiveness and grow sustainably.
• Innovation Connections – Funding to support collaborative research between businesses and research organisations.
• Accelerating Commercialisation – Previously available matched funding to help entrepreneurs and small businesses commercialise novel products, processes and services (program closed May 2023).
• Business Growth Fund – Access to growth capital and mentoring for high-growth potential businesses.

Who is eligible for the Entrepreneurs' Programme?

Eligibility varies by stream but generally the programme is open to Australian businesses with an ABN that are engaged in genuine commercial activity. Some streams require minimum turnover or investment thresholds. KP Retail can assess your eligibility and match you with the most suitable stream.
