EXPERT ASSISTANCE GRANT SCHEME

LETTER OF INTENT FORM

The purpose of a letter of Intent is to allow a grant applicant sufficient time to gather the necessary information to complete their application.

Costs incurred prior to the date on which this letter is received by the Business Development Board will be considered as retrospective, ie, these costs will not be able to be considered for the grant application.

Lodging a letter of intent is no guarantee that the costs incurred from the date the letter is received will be approved.

The only basis on which claims can be paid out are:

a on matching original receipts to original invoices; or on an accountant’s certification of costs paid; this must be from an independent accountant in public practice and must match expenditure to the approved costs; and
b if the prescribed standard claim and report forms have been used by the claimant.

A letter of intent is valid for 90 days from the date it is received by the Business Development Board. No extensions can be made to this validity period.

Two specific information requests are made in this form - one relates to the applicant’s gender and the other to their ethnicity.
