About BizGiver
Every success story starts with a dream…
BizGiver is how we realise those dreams for the small business community, the unsung heroes who drive our economy. Ignored for too long, we believe it’s always their time to shine.
That’s why every six months, BizCover will grant a $5,000 wish to one deserving business owner. More than just a prize, it’s our way of recognising the dedication, sacrifice, and commitment that small business owners invest in their dreams.
Since 2014, we’ve awarded almost $100,000 in prizes, including SEO packages, advertising, hardware, and training. If your wish can be invoiced, it can become a reality.
So share that dream and let us help you bring it to life.
