SMALL businesses in the Altona area can now access relevant, reliable and affordable information on starting a business thanks to a forthcoming workshop announced today by the Member for Western Metropolitan Bernie Finn.
The Starting Your Business workshop will be held at the Hobsons Bay Civic Centre in Altona at 6pm on Wednesday 17 April.
“Many have already realised the benefits of participating in the workshops and seminars with the added advantage of networking with people in similar situations,’’ Mr Finn said.
Last year more than 3,000 businesses throughout the state participated in Small Business Victoria’s workshops and seminars.
Through the program, businesses and prospective business owners are provided with the facts and advice needed to make informed decisions and create a platform for ongoing success.
Popular topics in the program include starting up, financial management, employing people and marketing.
All workshops and seminars are delivered by private sector business specialists who are well-qualified and experienced in small business.
