Growth Facilitation Fund (GFF)
The Growth Facilitation Fund (GFF) is a special funding program that helps small and medium businesses in Brunei grow bigger and stronger. If your company is part of BEDB's Elevate Programme, you can get up to $100,000 in funding where the government covers 60% of your costs and you only pay 40%. This money can be used for things like buying new technology, marketing your products, developing new ideas, expanding to other countries, or getting expert advice to grow your business. The fund focuses on key industries like oil and gas, tourism, services, food, and technology, and is designed to help local businesses create jobs, increase sales, reduce imports, and start exporting their products internationally.
