Are there federal grants for individuals who want to start a small business?

The Australian federal government offers federal grants for individuals who are in business or want to start a small business. Through the government grants and loans program, it is possible to apply for funding that is designed to help individuals who need financial assistance to operate and maintain a business operation, or to start a small business. Grants vary in amount that is awarded and in terms of what the funding is intended to promote, e.g., there could be grant assistance to start an ecological centre to help with environmental management, a computer repair business, or a child care centre. The opportunities are endless.
