Record breaking Small Business September comes to a close

11 October 2010

The 11th Small Business September was closed on September 30 with a live version of Kochie’s Business builders. The interactive event featured a panel of experts and was a fantastic way to end the month long celebration of small business success in NSW. 

Potential, new and established small business owners attended over 500 Small Business September 2010 events presented by over 120 partner organisations. There were over 230 events held within the Sydney metropolitan region and almost 300 in regional NSW - each statistic a record.

The workshops, seminars (real-time and virtual) and special events scheduled during the month were a huge success attracting well over 20,000 people.

Many events have posted presentations online. You can search for these events or look through the full list of presentations.

Small Business September would not be possible without the support of our sponsors, this year our platinum sponsors were: ANZ, Australia Post, Cumberland Couriers newspapers and Yellow Pages.  Gold Sponsors were: City of Sydney, Netregistry and NRMA Business Insurance and Silver sponsors were : CPA Australia, EFIC, NSW Business Chamber and Virgin Blue.

The NSW Government recognises this contribution and supports small businesses in many different ways, by promoting business growth and investment, encouraging exports and innovation, and creating a better business climate.

Planning has already commenced for Small Business September 2011!
