Small Business Fundamentals Program

Tailored support to help you build your business know-how

The Small Business Fundamentals Program is designed for established business owners looking to take their business and their knowledge to the next level.

This three month Program will give eligible participants the knowledge and tools to plan and grow their business successfully. Our Program targets established business owners and leaders, across all industry sectors, that have been in operation for more than two years and employ less than 100 staff.

Participants will each receive six one hour mentoring sessions from a Business Mentor to discuss their specific challenges and help develop their business capabilities and work out an implementation plan.
These sessions will be one to one session and predominantly be delivered on-line.

One to one mentoring session will be delivered over a three month period of the Program.
Participants will be supported to apply the learnings from the Program to their existing business and guide them through the challenges of executing these actions.

Mentoring one to one sessions (one hour duration each) will focus on learnings, challenges and implementation of each of the three individual Workshops and are as follows:

  • Introduction and Discovery
    Business Modelling, Planning and Strategies for Growth (learnings and
    implementation) - 1 session/hour OR 2 sessions/hours
  • Sales, Marketing and Digital Strategies (learnings and implementation) - 2 sessions/hours
  • Financial Management (learnings and implementation) 1 session/hour.

Applicants for the Program are required to pay $200.00 plus GST before Program commencement. The Program is worth $3,000 and heavily subsidised by the State Government.
