What is the truth about government grants?

The truth about government grants is that the Australian government offers many federal and state government grants to small businesses in Australia. Grants programs include both one-time awards and renewable grant funds. There are government grants to help with starting a business or grants to help with improving an existing business. Small businesses in Australia are helped immensely each year through the grant funding provided through such programs as the National Research Council Industrial Research Assistance Program. A grant is the same as being given a sum of money that you do not have to pay back.
