BankSA understands the challenges of starting a new business and is giving entrepreneurs the chance to jump start their venture with a $10,000 cash grant.
The BankSA Jump Start Your Start Up initiative is open to new businesses in South Australia and the Northern Territory and aims to reward and support enterprise and initiative with a cash grant, advice and support.
Whether the business is new, or yet to get off the ground, applicants could be eligible for a $10,000 BankSA cash injection.
BankSA Managing Director Jane Kittel announced Jump Start Your Start up to complement the opening of Hub Adelaide last week (September 5).
BankSA is a founding member of Hub Adelaide and will support its activities through workforce experience in business, banking and financial expertise. Several staff from across the bank will become Hub Adelaide members.

Dappr is the recently established business of local web developers Ron Howland, 31 and David Burden, 34.
The pair will be using Hub Adelaide both as a space to work, engage in networks and exchange ideas.
“We’re really keen to be involved and to have a resource like this, Ron said. “Our business is different because it’s more bespoke, our niche is being more client focussed and we like to take a more tailored approach to their needs.
“The Jump Start program from BankSA is great and will be a major help to new and developing businesses. We’re definitely going to look at it and see if we are eligible.”
