About Marketing & Digital Presence Grants
While pure marketing grants are rare, several government programs subsidise digital presence, website development, and digital marketing for small businesses. The Digital Solutions program provides heavily subsidised advisory on websites and digital tools. Export marketing costs are reimbursable through EMDG. State programs occasionally include marketing as an eligible expenditure for broader business grants.
