Program Overview

The AGAC Entrepreneur Startup & Business Development Grant is designed to support eligible entrepreneurs and small business owners working to establish, strengthen, or expand sustainable business operations. The program provides funding consideration for qualified applicants who need capital for business startup costs, equipment, commercial workspace, technology, inventory, workforce development, product or service expansion, operational improvements, and other approved business-development needs. The program is particularly suited to entrepreneurs with a clearly defined business concept or existing small business who can demonstrate how funding will contribute to business viability, revenue-generating capacity, employment opportunities, or positive economic impact. Applications are reviewed individually based on the applicant's business plan, funding requirements, proposed use of funds, supporting documentation, financial information, and overall project viability.
