HELP FOR SMALL BUSINESS IN THE ELECTORATE OF BEROWRA
The Member for Berowra, Philip Ruddock MP today encouraged local training providers to apply for Australian Government funding to help small business improve their skills in financial management and environmental practices.
Through the Building Entrepreneurship in Small Business program, the Australian Government funds training for owners and operators of small business right across Australia. Funding is now available with more than $8 million available for this round.
"The Australian Government is committed to providing small business with practical assistance to grow their business," Mr Ruddock said.
"Through this initiative, training providers can be funded to assist the skills development of operators of local small businesses, with a special emphasis on financial management skills and environment practices.
"I encourage local training providers to apply for funding to help support small business and keep our economy strong."
The Building Entrepreneurship in Small Business program provides funding typically from $100,000 to
$300,000 to service providers in the areas of business skills development and succession planning
skills.
"This initiative will help small business improve their financial management skills, vital to the health of any small business. It will also assist small business to improve their environmental practices, helping them to do their bit for the environment," Philip Ruddock said.
