This $10K WA Grant Could Be Your Business’s Marketing Wake Up Call

Ever feel like your business is stuck in neutral? You know you need a better website. Or to finally run that ad campaign. Or just get your brand in front of more of the right people. But between client work, managing the day to day, and trying to keep the lights on, real marketing always gets bumped down the list.


Here is your sign. Actually, it is a $10,000 sign. The WA Government just announced a new Small Business Growth Grant and it is tailor made for people like you who are ready to grow but need a little nudge.

The Backstory: A Grant That Makes Real Business Sense.

The Cook Government has committed $1 million through the Small Business Development Corporation (SBDC) to help WA small businesses grow. The big hook? A matched grant of up to $10,000. That means if you invest $10K into your business, the government will chip in $10K to match it. That is serious support.


This is not one of those vague grants that get lost in red tape. It is designed specifically for practical, growth focused projects. Think strategic marketing, branding, digital advertising, e-commerce, financial advice, tender prep and more. In other words, the stuff that actually moves the needle.


Applications open at 10am on Monday, August 4. And with only $1 million in total funding available, it will be first in, best dressed.

Why This Matters for Your Business.

Most small businesses are running on tight margins. You want to invest in your brand, your online presence, or a smarter marketing strategy, but there is always something else that feels more urgent. Rent. Staff. That client who needed something yesterday.


This grant is the reset button. It is a chance to invest in the long term health of your business without footing the full bill. And it is the kind of support that rewards being proactive. If you already have a plan in place, you are miles ahead of the pack.


What You Can Do: Build with Intention.

Here is where we come in. At Monday Media, we help small businesses across Perth and WA turn vague marketing ideas into bold, intentional moves. Whether that means launching a brand new website, crafting a content strategy that actually speaks to your ideal customers, or finally getting clear on your brand identity, we help businesses build with purpose.



This grant could cover:

  • A completely new website that is mobile friendly, fast and optimised to convert

  • A brand strategy that helps you stand out from your competitors

  • Paid advertising to attract real leads, not just likes

  • Video content that showcases your work and builds trust

Closing Thoughts.

There are not many moments in business where the government hands you $10,000 and says, go build something better. This is one of them. Whether you have been sitting on an idea for months or just know that your marketing could be sharper, this grant is a golden opportunity to stop putting things off and start moving forward. With the right team by your side and a clear plan in place, your business could look very different six months from now. Better branding, better leads, and more confidence in your marketing.


If you are ready to take that first step, we would love to help you scope a project that is worth the investment.
