Affordable Digital Solutions for Small Business

If you are a small business owner and you would like advice on a range of digital solutions to help you meet your business needs and grow your digital capabilities, you can access quality advice at an affordable price through the Northern Regional Business Enterprise Centre (NRBEC).

The NRBEC runs the Australian Small Business Advisory Service (ASBAS), which is a Federal Government program set up to help small business operators grow their capability to operate in an increasingly digital environment. The service focuses on equipping business operators with the confidence, the tools and the know how to more effectively manage their business through:

• One on one mentoring and support to grow digital capacity
• Digital marketing and social media
• E commerce – which option is best for my business
• Website review, software and cyber security considerations.   

The ASBAS program has a range of carefully crafted business diagnostics which allow you to self-score your understanding and knowledge of the digital environment.  This information can then be utilised to design a plan to ensure your business adapts and maximises the opportunities offered by an increasingly digital economy.

The program offers one on one support to small business operators with an ABN.  The support is heavily subsidised by the Federal Government and sessions cost just $25 (or $125 for a package of 6 sessions).  Take the opportunity to gain the confidence, the tools and the know how to more effectively manage your business.

They will also be offering a range of workshops across topics relevant to business operators around Northern NSW over the next 6 months.  Workshops ideally run for two hours and have a set charge of just $25 per person and topics include: 

• Digital 2020
• Digital Marketing - Maximising Google and Facebook
• E-Commerce Options to sell more product
• Set up your own Mailchimp eNewsletter
