Applying for Grants: What Small Businesses Need to Know!

 Guest Speaker Robyn Baker

This straight talk session is designed for small businesses and founders who want to know whether grants are actually worth pursuing

You’ll see grants through the assessor’s lens: how applications are scored, why most small businesses are ruled out early, and what funders are really looking for beyond the application form.

You’ll identify the missing pieces that quietly block success — systems, evidence, documentation, and strategy — and learn how to prepare before a grant opens, instead of scrambling at the deadline.

Most importantly, you’ll walk away with a clear, practical action plan: what to fix now, what to build next, and which funding paths actually make sense for your business.

If you’ve ever thought “grants aren’t for businesses like mine” — this session will tell you if that’s true… and what to do about it.
