Small businesses in Southern Queensland have seen their fair share of hardship and significant stress as a result of COVID-19, flooding, interest rate rises and increasing input costs. We’re here to support small businesses so that they can respond effectively to these challenges. We provide business owners with the tools and knowledge that encourages improvements in their financial situation as well as their personal health and wellbeing. Above all, helping small businesses plan and achieve a better future.
