Tasmanian small businesses can now register their interest to receive first access to free business advice through the new Tasmanian Business Advice Service website.
Minister for Small Business, Madeleine Ogilvie, says the launch of the website is a game changer for Tasmania’s small business community.
“This new website features information for the Tasmanian Business Advice Service and also for the New Business Support Pilot Program, with both services to commence the provision of free and independent advice from Monday, 2 October 2023,” Minister Ogilvie said.
“Existing small businesses will be able to access up to five hours of advice under the Tasmanian Business Advice Service, and new or early-stage businesses can access up to two hours of advice through the New Business Support Pilot Program.”
The Tasmanian Business Advice Service will provide advice on subjects including managing cashflow, marketing, risk management and small business planning and strategy.
“The New Business Support Pilot Program offers guidance on key aspects of starting a business, including establishing a business structure, determining business viability, financial forecasting and identifying new opportunities,” Minister Ogilvie said.
“Both services increase the choice and flexibility for businesses as to who they receive advice from and how they receive it by enabling them to select their advisor and to meet either in person or online.
“I encourage any Tasmanian business wanting free and independent business advice to check the site and register in order to access services as soon as they commence.”
