COUNCIL bosses are launching a new program to give new businesses a helping hand.
Economic and Cultural Development Committee Chairwoman Pye Augustine said the New Business Breakfast would connect new businesses with like-minded people and organisations to enable growth in Ipswich.
“We recognise the challenges businesses face getting started, so we are assisting small businesses to access government, business and industry programs and resources, and helping them develop networks and access education,” Cr Augustine said.
Council will also connect with new ABN holders and invite them to attend.
There are more than 12,000 registered businesses in Ipswich with up to 500 new businesses opening their doors each year.
“Council is looking to connect with all businesses that have started up in Ipswich over the past two years,” Cr Augustine said.
“We want all businesses across Ipswich to sign up to our newsletter so they can keep up to date with events, education, news and information.
“For those new businesses who may not be able to attend the breakfast, council is still wanting to connect with you, so we encourage you to join our New Business Ipswich database.
“Council is proud to continue our efforts to support our small businesses under the Economic Development Strategy 2023-2027.”
To register for the breakfast on Thursday, July 11, email business@ipswich.qld.gov.au
