Are these small business Start-Up loans right for you?

ACT Office for Women MicroCredit Scheme

Have you ever thought about starting your own business?
The ACT Women's Microcredit Program provides time-limited interest-free loans of up to $3,000 to help women on low incomes establish or further develop their current small business.

This is one of only 2 such programs in Australia. It aims to assist women into employment, reduce dependency on government benefits, and increase the financial security of participants. It has great potential for women with disabilities who wishes to work from home - if not you, then perhaps a friend.

The Office for Women has engaged a business development organisation Lighthouse Innovations to adminster the scheme. They have set up a specific website for information: www.brilliantidea.com.au. Up to 12 women will be granted loans each year.
