Strengthening Business Program

Strengthening Business is a service under the AusIndustry Entrepreneurs' Programme that connects you with experts to make your business stronger, more resilient and better prepared for the future. Small businesses located in regions impacted by the 2019–20 Black Summer bushfires and some flood emergencies are eligible for this support.

Strengthening Business offers a facilitation service, which will connect you to a dedicated facilitator who:

• is a local, independent expert, with private sector expertise
• has extensive networks across national, state and local government
• understands your region
• will advise on what it takes to run a successful business in your industry and help you assess the gaps in your business knowledge.

Your facilitator will work with you to address the challenges and opportunities your business now faces in the community. You'll get a roadmap with strategies and goals to achieve in the immediate, medium and long term.

Strengthening Business is provided at no cost to your business. However, you will need to invest your time to maximise your engagement.
