EXISTING and aspiring small business owners will have the chance to get some free expert advice when the Small Business Bus rolls into town on February 27.<\/p>\n

The state government-led initiative will see the bus transport several small business mentoring specialists to different townships. These specialists will provide advice in marketing, finance, human resources and sales.<\/p>\n

Minister for Small Businesses Adam Somyurek said the specialists will be able to offer help to a variety of people.<\/p>\n

“Regardless of whether you’re thinking about starting a small business or are already well established, the Andrews Labor Government’s Small Business Bus will be there to help you grow and thrive.”<\/p>\n

Last year 1,176 small businesses used the bus’s on-board mentoring.<\/p>\n

South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman said the Small Business Bus had proved an important tool for growing small businesses.<\/p>\n

“This program plays an important part in providing Victorians with greater access to government support services.”<\/p>\n

The bus will be located near Woolworths Torquay, on the corner of Bristol Road and Walker Street.<\/p>\n

The bus will also be in Apollo Bay on Wednesday, February 26.<\/p>\n

It will then visit Drysdale on April 21, Anglesea on April 22 and Lorne on April 23.<\/p>\n

It will be open from 10am-4pm.<\/p>\n
