The ‘Enterprise Connect’ program was announced in the May 2008 Federal Budget as a $251m Australian Government initiative aimed at delivering practical support for thousands of SMEs throughout the country.

The program has two stages; a free Business Review, where a Business Adviser works with a firm’s management to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their organisation, and stage two, where the business can access funding of up to $20,000, matched dollar for dollar, for Tailored Advisory Services, to address the areas identified in the first stage.

RBF has been contacted by the Australian Industry Group, who have Business Advisers on hand to help you. The AIG has provided a presentation which outlines the program - click here to download the Power Point presentation.

More information can also be obtained from the web site at www.enterpriseconnect.gov.au. The AIG would be very pleased to speak to, or meet with interested members.
