Small business operators in the Wyndham area will be able to access support and government business services when the Small Business Bus visits on Monday 20 April 2020.

This is part of the assistance offered by the Andrews Labor Government, from cuts to payroll tax in to mentoring and advice services.

This support for small business has contributed to Victoria being the best state in Australia in which to build a small business. Through the bus the small business mentoring specialists provide advice in marketing, finance, human resources and sales. These experts have extensive experience in operating small businesses and in senior business management roles.

In 2019, 1,176 small businesses accessed the small business bus’s free on-board mentoring. Small Business Victoria ran a further 264 practical workshops for small business owners, helping 4,561 businesses owners develop new skills.

This year’s program will take information and services to towns across the state, benefiting businesses that may not have the time or resources to otherwise access the available support.

The Small Business Bus will be located outside Rigoli Lawyers, 90-92 Watton Street, Werribee.

Free mentoring sessions on board the bus are limited and bookings are essential.

For more information or to book a session, visit business.vic.gov.au/sbb or call Small Business Victoria on
