What’s Not Covered
The Go Succeed Grant focuses on strategic investments — not day-to-day costs. Marketing, wages, rent, or training aren’t eligible. Always wait for your official Letter of Offer before starting any work, as expenses before that date can’t be reimbursed.
Why It’s Worth It
This grant is a fantastic opportunity to accelerate your business growth with financial support and expert guidance. By covering half of your investment costs, it helps you make meaningful improvements that boost efficiency, expand capacity, or reach new markets — without overstretching your budget.
