Shophand Small Business Boost Grant

The Shophand Small Business Boost Grant offers $5,000 in support to U.S.-based small business owners. This includes $2,500 in no-strings-attached cash and $2,500 in Shophand technical support and services, such as AI tools, automation, creative and media support, marketing and tech support, operations overhaul, and software setup. The grant is designed for non-techie entrepreneurs who are overwhelmed or wearing too many hats, facing challenges in areas like Creative & Media, Development & IT, Finance Management, Marketing & Sales, and Operations & Customer Experience. To be eligible, businesses must be for-profit, actively operating (not just an idea), have fewer than 50 employees, generate under $5 million in annual revenue, and be based in the United States. The grant is awarded three times a year on a rolling application schedule, with preference given to applicants who have utilized a "Your Shophand" service during the current application cycle.

Applying takes 10–15 minutes. Applicants will submit basic business information, a description of their business, their biggest small business challenge, and their thoughts on how Shophand can best support them.
