Lord Mayor Clover Moore is encouraging business owners to take advantage of the small biz bus visit to help steer their businesses in the right direction
Local business operators can jump on board the Small Biz Bus for free advice from industry experts when it pulls into George Street next week.
Operated by the Office of the NSW Small Business Commissioner, the Small Biz Bus travels to business hubs around NSW connecting small-business owners with experts and community services free of charge to help local businesses grow.
The Small Biz Bus is supported by the City of Sydney and will be in place in front of Town Hall next Friday, 26 February. Lord Mayor Clover Moore is encouraging local business owners to take advantage of the bus visit to help steer their businesses in the right direction.
‘Sydney is undergoing one of the biggest transformations in its history. The new light rail network and the pedestrianisation of George Street will create an exciting environment for local businesses and presents opportunities for new ventures,’ the Lord Mayor said.
‘George Street is set to become a world class destination for locals, visitors and those who work in the city. We are proud to support the Small Biz Bus, that offers local business operators and start-ups the chance to tap into invaluable information at a time of exciting change.’
The Small Biz Connect advisors offer advice on starting a business, business finances, staffing, expansion plans, dealing with other businesses or government, marketing and making the most of online and digital opportunities.
NSW Small Business Commissioner, Robyn Hobbs OAM said advisors can help business owners take the next step.
‘Whether you’re just starting out, wanting to ensure your business is sustainable or hoping to grow, talking to an advisor can really help,’ Robyn said.
The Small Biz Bus is an initiative of the state government and an extension of the Small Biz Connect program. Launch in 2012, last year the Small Biz Bus visited 327 communities across NSW.
The Small Biz Bus will be at Sydney Town Hall on Friday 26 February from 8:30am to 3:00pm.
