BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Instructions for completing your Business Proposal
1. The Business Proposal allows us to determine eligibility for the support available through the Aboriginal Business
Development Program. Therefore, it is important that you answer all the questions completely; use attachments if
space is insufficient. Include any additional information that supports your proposal, such as business studies, market
studies, financial statements and relevant industry information.
2. Before making a commitment to provide assistance, the Aboriginal Business Development Program may require an
assessment of the potential impact of your project on the environment. To minimize delays, you should submit with
your Business Proposal a copy of environmental studies or any other available information concerning possible
environmental impacts.
3. Please ensure that your Business Proposal is signed and dated.
4. Please submit the completed Business Proposal, including attachments, to the Aboriginal Business Development
Program delivery office nearest you (see below). Retain a copy for your files.
5. Before completing the assessments of your Business Proposal, a development officer will review the information in the
document and contact you to discuss your proposal in more detail.
6. Following a review and discussion of the information provided, and depending on the nature of your application, you
may be asked to supply a comprehensive business plan.
We provide a range of support, information products and services to Aboriginal entrepreneurs and business
organizations.
