Are you looking to start or grow a small business?
Enterprise and Training Company Limited (ETC) has just been advised it has retained the contract to deliver the Business Advisory Service (BAS) across the Mid North Coast for another three years.
"ETC has been delivering business services in Coffs Harbour, Bellingen, Nambucca, Kempsey, Hastings and Greater Taree for the past 20 years and we are very excited to be able to continue to service this region," ETC's National Business Solutions Manager, Karina Morrison said.
Ms Morrison said the BAS program helped start-up and established small business owners by offering FREE, independent and impartial business advice through a combination of information, counselling and training services.
"The Mid North Coast BAS program is delivered by an expert team of business facilitators who combined have more than 140 years of small business experience in the region," Ms Morrison said.
"The qualified team of Kay Morrison, Kim Weston, Rebekah Goodwin and David Ledgerwood are particularly skilled in the areas of diagnostics, market research, business planning, recruitment, operations and credit control."
"Often clients are not always aware of the issues they confront in starting and managing a small business. Consequently we take a diagnostic approach to our service rather than simply answering questions raised by the clients. Our network and knowledge base is vast and between us a huge amount of information and support can be accessed. Best of all, most of it is free!"
The Business Advisory Service is funded through the Department of Industry and Investment (DII) NSW (formerly Department of State and Regional Development - DSRD).
The BAS team at Coffs Harbour ETC can be reached daily on 6648 5400.
