NextMinute - Get up to $5k towards job software
Queensland landscapers could get up to $5,000 towards their job software
It's 8.30 on a Tuesday night. The ute's unpacked, the kids are in bed, and you're at the kitchen table with a pile of dockets, three half-finished quotes and a text from your leading hand asking which site their on tomorrow.
Sound familiar? Most landscape crews we talk to are flat out on the tools all week, then lose their evenings to admin. Timesheets that never came back. A retaining wall job that felt like it made money, but nobody's quite sure.
Here's the good news. The Queensland Government has announced the Construction Business Advancement Grant, a new program to help small construction businesses invest in approved business management software, and it's opening soon. Based on what's been advised to software suppliers, eligible businesses can claim up to $5,000.
Landscape Queensland has teamed up with NextMinute as a Silver Partner to help members get ready for it. LQ has backed the state's landscape industry for more than 40 years, and the grant could help members get on top of the admin.
NextMinute is job management software built for crews like yours. Quotes, scheduling, timesheets, site photos, job costs and invoices all live in one place. Your crew use it on site from their phone, and you can see whether a job is making money before it's finished, not three months later.
The advised criteria are a Queensland business with fewer than 20 staff, turnover under $10 million, and at least 12 months' trading with an active ABN. If that sounds like you, you could be eligible.
Register with us now and we'll keep you in the know, help you get your ducks in a row before the grant opens, and give you a hand with the paperwork. It takes about a minute.
