The Bus will be visiting Gunnedah, Bingara, Warialda & Glen Innes, giving local small business operators the chance to access personalised advice from business experts on 3, 4 & 5 December.
NSW Minister for Small Business, John Barilaro, said: “NSW is leading the nation on economic performance and retail trade is a strong part of this story. Through initiatives like the Small Biz Bus, the NSW Liberals & Nationals are supporting small business across the State so we can continue this trend. I encourage small business owners and operators to visit the Bus when it comes to town so we can make sure NSW stays number one.”
“Speaking to an advisor can help you take the next step, whether you’re just starting out, wanting to ensure your business is sustainable or hoping to grow,” NSW Small Business Commissioner, Robyn Hobbs OAM, said.
