It will be launched at the Milestone Hotel, 195 Macquarie Street, at 5.50pm on Wednesday.
Business owners are being encouraged to attend the launch and find out what the program has to offer.
Dubbo City Council's economic development officer Josie Howard said its benefits were "many fold".
"The Your Dubbo program is designed to equip local business owners who are passionate about growing their organisations with the tools to do so by fostering their staff, enhancing client service and therefore developing Dubbo as a great place to do business," she said.
"The 2015 program has a lot to offer including business development workshops, expert guest speakers, extensive customer feedback reports and panels of local service providers.
"As an added incentive, there are three business development grants available for participating businesses worth a combined $30,000 in cash and $9000 in business development resources."
Ms Howard said customers of participating businesses would be encouraged to "shop local" with a $5000 consumer prize for purchasing products or services.
"This has a two-fold benefit, one it encourages people to shop locally in participating stores, and secondly the feedback entry form providers participants with valuable primary research for their own business planning," she said.
"I encourage all business owners to come along to the launch this Wednesday and catch up with other business people, hear from previous participants and find out how some of the winners from previous years used their grants and what benefits they have seen from participating in the program."
