The NSW State Government have announced they will be putting $750 million into the Small Business Support Fund as a way of supporting small businesses to stay afloat as they continue to battle the COVID-19 crisis.

- Use the funding for unavoidable business costs such as utilities, overheads, legal costs and financial advice;
- Provide appropriate documentation upon application.
Applications for a small business grant of up to $10,000 will be available through Service NSW within a fortnight and remain open until 1 June 2020.
