Thornton City Council is proud to announce Thornton’s newest business
grant program. The Thornton Start Up Grant is offered through the
Thornton Economic Development Office and the Alliance Business
Assistance Center. Starting in September 2021, the new grant will reimburse
small business owners up to $10,000 for costs associated with move-in
costs, permits and regulatory costs, commercial building improvements,
signage, equipment purchases and more.

“The Thornton Start Up Grant is designed to give businesses the choice of
locating anywhere in the city of Thornton” says Small Business Manager,
Robin Martinez. “Although businesses can receive a higher incentive if they
choose to locate in South Thornton and utilize the South Thornton
Attraction and Revitalization (STAR) grant, this new grant will provide more
location flexibility while still offering financial benefits for unique, locally-
owned businesses.”

The Alliance Business Assistance Center will begin accepting applications
September 2021. Businesses will be required to submit a completed
application and business plan (if in operation less than 2 years) or strategic
plan (if in operation more than 2 years), which will be reviewed by a grant
application review committee for final determination of award and amount.

For a full list of program guidelines and information, visit
www.businessinthornton.com or call the Alliance Business Assistance
Center at 720.674.3547. The ABAC is open Monday – Friday, 9 am – 5 pm.
They can provide free business counseling, education and technical
assistance with writing a business plan, applying for the grant, and
navigating the process of opening a business in the city of Thornton.
