How long do I need to be in the geographic area?

Your business location must meet eligibility as of the date you apply for the grant. 

• If you recently moved, make sure your business documentation is updated with the new address. 

• Moving from one eligible area to another may affect your application, as the funding amounts or availability differ between areas. 

• Your address must be clearly listed on the required documents you submit (like your tax return, lease, or utility bill). 

To avoid issues, confirm that your business address is correct and eligible before applying.
