Frankston City Entrepreneur Program 2025-26

Frankston City Council is excited to deliver the new Entrepreneur Program 2025-26 which is designed for Frankston City individuals who are looking to start a new business, have a business idea in the making, or have started a business in the last 12 months.

The program supports successful applicants by providing tailored training sessions, mentoring support, and the opportunity to pitch a business idea to a panel, culminating in an award ceremony where a grant to help start or grow their business could be awarded.

The expressions of interest will open on 3 November 2025 and close 14 November 2025.

The program will begin in December 2025 and finish 29 March 2026 with an awards ceremony held in April.
