Greater Western Sydney Business Enterprise Centre (BEC) will receive funding of $200,000 from the Australian Government\u2019s Small Business Advisory Services program to provide advice and assistance to the region\u2019s small businesses.<\/p>\n
Congratulating Greater Western Sydney BEC, Federal Member for Greenway Michelle Rowland said that business advisory services are vital to help small businesses grow and succeed.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreater Western Sydney BEC will help small businesses meet day-to-day challenges and also maximise their sustainability, productivity and potential for growth,\u201d Ms Rowland said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey will receive funding of $100,000 for each of the next two years to provide advice in areas like business and financial planning, business management and networking.\u201d<\/p>\n
Federal Member for Chifley Ed Husic said the Small Business Advisory Service has provided over 392,000 separate advisory services to more than 207,000 small businesses around the country since it was established in 2008.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Gillard Labor Government understands how important small businesses are to the local community,\u201d Mr Husic said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis new support for business advisory services is just one element of the Gillard Labor Government\u2019s continued support for small business.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have, for example, made changes to the tax system that will directly benefit the bottom line of small businesses in every sector of our economy and in every part of Australia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese include increasing the asset tax write-off threshold so that all small businesses \u2013 incorporated or not – will be able to immediately write off assets valued at under $6,500 in the year they buy them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Gillard Government is very supportive of small businesses expanding locally and globally\u201d, Ms Rowland said, \u201cand is committed to providing well-targeted support and advice for firms to capture benefits of the Asian century\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Australia in the Asian Century White Paper released recently, documents for all small and medium-sized business in Australia the many exciting new opportunities on our doorstep. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe National Broadband Network will greatly assist in opening up markets not previously available to them, and will greatly benefit Australia\u2019s small businesses\u201d, Ms Rowland said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
