Bus with the biz ready to roll

THE Small Business Bus is set to roll into Mildura early next month and a State Government MP is urging people to jump on board.

Run by Business Victoria, the service is free and offers general advice as well as tips on planning, financial management, marking, human resources, and marking.

The bus’ doors are open to existing small business or people who are looking at starting a new enterprise.

“Every business and every business owner in Mildura are unique, which is why the Small Business Bus provides tailored expert advice for each business owner to help support them in the way that suits them best,” said Upper House MP for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes.

A statement from Ms Symes said the bus has been operating throughout the state for nearly a decade-and-a-half, made more than 3300 stops and helped 47,000 people.

The Small Business Bus is set to pull up in Langtree Mall on Tuesday, April 1 from 10am to 4pm.

While walk in appoints are possible, bookings are also available and recommended to secure a place.

“The Small Business Bus is a fantastic resource for people looking to start or grow their small business, providing them with free expert advice so their business can grow, thrive and create local jobs for their community,” said Minister for Small Business, Natalie Suleyman.
