Attention small business owners and operators: the Small Biz Bus is on the way back to Campbelltown.
On Tuesday, August 4 they will be able to take advantage of business assistance and advice when the State Government’s Small Biz Bus hits town for a one day session.
The Small Biz Bus travels the state, providing small business owners with free access to expert business advisers to assist them in the development and growth of their business.
Recognising the importance of small businesses, the NSW Government established the Office of the NSW Small Business Commissioner (OSBC) in 2011.
The role of the Office of the Small Business Commissioner is to support the sustainability of small businesses in NSW by:
♦ acting as an advocate where a small business has been dealt with unfairly and speaking up for them within government;
♦ providing information, strategic and procedural advice,
♦ confidential mediation and dispute resolution services;
♦ reaching out to regional small businesses through the Regional Activation Program, which is engaging regional communities to activate small business opportunities through specialised programs, assistance and tools;
♦ supporting small business operators from culturally diverse backgrounds by translating information into a number of languages and by offering multicultural business advisors to provide one-on-one assistance to Arabic, Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean-speaking small business owners;
♦ engaging local councils through the Small Business Friendly Councils program, an Australian first, which encourages and empowers local councils to work proactively with small business communities across NSW and providing advice and support though Small Biz Connect.
Small Biz Connect is a high quality advisory program that helps small businesses to achieve outcomes based on personalised, in-depth and face-to-face advice.
Local Small Biz Connect advisors travel around NSW to meet with small business owners in a place convenient for them.
The Small Biz Connect program can provide practical guidance to a business operator at any stage of their journey from idea, to start-up, expansion, or even an exit plan.
