Seminars and Workshops
The BSBDC has direct access to many organisations, professional groups and Government departments that enable it to ensure that the advice provided is accurate and up-to-date. We partner with banks, local insurance companies, accounting firms and other businesses to sponsor events with presentations by known, successful business owners who share their experience and provide answers.
The BSBDC events also aim to be information-packed, relevant and directly useful to you and your business. Our Quarterly Business Workshops and Seminars allow small business owners to stay abreast of best business practices to remain competitive and profitable.
