“Take a leap of faith and join the Manningham Business Grants Program.  I can provide an extremely positive testimonial for this – as I was successful”, says Chris Martini of Otticolab.
A special point he passes along is that the grant approval process has a compelling highlight on the grant funds being spent with other local businesses.  His own business has picked up new clients because of this exact concept!
The grant application is very straight forward … the process takes about 90 to 130 minutes complete.  The team at Manningham Business – Ben Harnwell, Christine Gibbins, Jodie Calwell –  are a pleasure to work with … and Jodie Calwell’s MBN Webinar is super helpful also.
We urge you to take up this recommendation as the Small Business Support Grant program offers a great opportunity for our local business owners – it is there for you to take advantage of – NOW!
