Business NSW Central Coast says Small Business Month, officially launched on March 1, is an opportunity to celebrate and recognise the thousands of small business owners, and their employees in the region and right across NSW.
Small Business Month 2022 comes with the focus to Rebuild, Recharge, and Renew.
“The last two years have been incredibly difficult for the small business community, and sadly, many haven’t been able to keep their businesses going,” Regional Director, Paula Martin, said.
“Small Business Month gives us all a chance to recognise our favourite small business and give them the encouragement to keep on doing what they do best.
“There are many events across the Central Coast during March to help small businesses prosper in their local towns and broader regional economies.
As an official collaborative partner, Business NSW will be participating in a number of workshops and events, including the Business NSW Central Coast Economic Breakfast which will bring people together to review the economic outlook for business in the current volatile environment.
“It’s also an opportunity to recognise the significant contribution of Local Chambers of Commerce including Business Wyong, Gosford Erina Business Chamber and Coastal Towns Business Chamber who have been provided funding through the Small Business Commissioner to showcase their region during this month,” Martin said.
“The Central Coast has over 17,000 small businesses (employing) over 70 per cent of our locals.
Minister for Small Business, Eleni Petinos, said small businesses are an integral part of our communities, especially in our smaller towns and regions, forming part of the social fabric and a place where community bonds are strengthened.
