Small businesses are the backbone of our local communities creating jobs, supporting families and helping our neighbourhoods thrive.

This Small Business Month, we want to make sure local business owners know there is practical support available through the Service NSW Business Bureau.

Business owners can access additional tailored support, including face-to-face appointments at more than 30 Service NSW Centres, as well as specialised programs supporting First Nations, multicultural and female founders.

There’s also up to four hours of free, independent business advice available through the new Small Business Advisory program.

And locally, there’s a familiar face who can help.

Pablo, our local Service NSW Business Bureau representative, is a regular at North West Business Chamber events and is always happy to have a conversation with local business owners about the support, advice and services available to them.

If you’d like the opportunity to chat with Pablo at an upcoming Chamber event, comment below and we’ll help connect you.

Running a small business takes courage, long hours and determination but you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.

This Small Business Month, shop local, support local and make sure our local businesses know where to turn when they need a hand.
