Starting the Application Process

The application process begins when you contact ABC. A development officer will be assigned to discuss your project with you and confirm your understanding of application requirements. After speaking with your development officer, you will be advised that:

• your project appears to be eligible to be considered for support and you should prepare an application package; or
• your project does not appear to be eligible for support.

Preparing an Application

If your development officer advises you to proceed, you will need to complete an application package, which includes a Business Proposal and all required supporting documents.

How ABC will Assess Your Application

Once you submit your application package, ABC will review it. You will then be advised that:

• we will proceed with the assessment of your business plan;
• we would like you to submit a business plan for review; or
• your application did not meet ABC investment requirements and was not approved for further assessment.

Once you submit your business plan, your development officer will analyse thoroughly, and make final recommendations on funding for your proposal.
