The UG Small Business Grant is available for qualified applicants that own an existing small business with twenty-five (25) or fewer employees that are primed for expansion and moving to the next level in business/job growth.

The strategy is to promote small business activity through a one-time reimbursable grant to applicants.

The UG will provide grants of $1,000 to $10,000 to applicants. Award amounts will be based on need and the qualified matching investment.

Types of grants for qualified applicants that own an existing small business that is primed for expansion and moving to the next level in business and job growth:

  • Renovation costs (sheetrock, flooring, painting, etc.)
  • Facade and minor roof repairs (painting, sealing, etc.)
  • Inventory costs (other than office supplies)
  • Equipment cost
  • Marketing (web page, signage, etc.)
