   Business Plan Subsidy

A business plan is critical to sound management and is the base for access to financial support from a number of sources.
 
The business plan will:
button assess the skill levels of farmers and identify education and training needs.
button identify options to improve productivity, viability, sustainability and better water use efficiency
button if applicable include possible development / redevelopment option
button include a cashflow for a minimum of 5 years
 
Building A New ERA will provide a grant up to 90 per cent of the cost of the preparation of a business plan to a maximum of $2,700. The farmer must provide the remaining 10 per cent.
 
To qualify for this subsidy, the farmer must attend a Building A New ERA workshop, and have the Plan prepared in conjunction with an accredited provider.
 
The business plan is a prerequisite for accessing further assistance through Building A New ERA.
