“Small businesses are large employers within Greater Shepparton, it is important that we can assist business with courses for any new or existing business, and with mentoring programs,” said Mayor Cr Dennis Patterson.
“Speaking from experience and having run a small business for 27 years, if there is one thing I can suggest it is to take the opportunity of the free help that is out there for small business owners and take it with open arms.”
The Greater Shepparton Business Centre is hosting a number of workshops which are open to new and existing small businesses.
“Sometimes it is hard to know where to get some help to assist with the planning and growth of your business. This is just another way Greater Shepparton City Council is assisting,” said Cr Patterson.
“Council is fortunate to receive funding from various Government bodies to assist with some programs. One successful program is the Greater Shepparton Digital Enterprise program and we will also be rolling out more events as part of the Small Business Festival, so keep an eye out for these soon”.
