A grants program has awarded more than $250,000 to 33 small businesses in Hobart.
The state government gave the money as part of round two of the Enabling Small Business Grant program.
Hospitality and Small Business Minister Jane Howlett said the program was very popular, with the grant applications fulfilled within 24 hours of opening.
“The $1 million Enabling Small Business Grants program provided up to $10,000 to eligible businesses for capital purchases,” Ms Howlett said.
“This includes things such as new technology, small-scale manufacturing equipment, computers or electronic payment terminals.
“The successful applicants were required to contribute at least 30 per cent towards the total capital purchase cost.
“These grants highlight the benefits of the 2026 Small Business Growth Strategy and are producing real and tangible outcomes for small businesses across Tasmania.”
Statewide, more than 110 small businesses received grants.
