About the Small Business Friendly Program

Small Business Update

Council has launched a new initiative: a monthly Small Business Update, as part of our commitment to the Small Business Friendly program. This is something we're trialling on a monthly basis, going out via email to small businesses in our region. We recently signed the Small Business Friendly Charter, and as part of our commitment, we'd like to share useful information about resources and opportunities designed to support and empower small businesses in our region.

We don't want to bombard readers - we're hoping a monthly update in your inbox is enough to be useful, without being an annoyance. Small business is the backbone of our economy, and we want to help provide them with the tools and information they need to thrive.
