THE federal government\u2019s Department of Jobs and Small Business is hosting a Small Business Fair in Geelong tomorrow (Friday, March 15).<\/p>\n
The event will be a one-stop-shop where people who want to start or grow their business, can speak with locally-based government agencies about simplifying taxes, using digital marketing and e-commerce tools, selling to government and prioritising wellbeing.<\/p>\n
The fair will feature keynote speakers, live demonstrations, presentations and practical advice.<\/p>\n
There are about 20 Small Business Fairs planned nationally, with the fairs focusing on helping existing businesses tap into initiatives, benefits and tools.<\/p>\n
The fairs will also help people keen to start their own small business learn about setting a strong foundation in their first year of operation.<\/p>\n
The department\u2019s small business group manager, Peter Cully, said the fairs would give small business owners information that will help them get on with growing their business.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a great chance for small and family business owners to access Australian Government incentives and benefits that will help them work smarter.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fairs will also focus on digital tools used to connect with customers and the importance of selfcare and wellbeing in the small business environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
With Australia\u2019s 3.3 million small businesses under pressure to carve out their success alongside rapidly changing technology, many first-time entrepreneurs can struggle to keep their business afloat in the first 12 months. The fairs are geared towards easing that pressure.<\/p>\n
The fair will be held at Newtown Event Centre, 40 Read Street, Newtown, on Friday, March 15 from 7.30am-2pm.<\/p>\n
