Small Business September is the longest running, most comprehensive collection of events, designed to provide advice and information specifically for small businesses.

Small Business Month, as it was originally called, was first held in NSW in 1999. Since this time almost 450,000 small business owners and operators have benefited from advice on just about every topic of relevance to those who run a small business.

This year, the 10th Small Business September is better than ever as it continues to provide an array of events focusing on the growth and needs of small business, with some new additions such as the Marketing Makeover competition

Small Business September 2009 events continue a long tradition by encouraging business owners to “Get Some New Business Ideas and Soar.”

And as always Small Business September has attracted household names as sponsors. The platinum sponsors are Australia Post, IAG, (NRMA), Sensis, (Yellow Pages); gold sponsors are, Austrade and the City of Sydney, and silver sponsors are the NSW Business Chamber, CISCO  and the Export Finance and Insurance Corporation or EFIC.
