The Victorian Small Business Commissioner (VSBC) will visit Benalla on Thursday, February 28, as the keynote speaker at the ‘‘Food for Thought’’ breakfast hosted by Benalla Rural City Council, the first in a series of business breakfasts for 2019.
Commissioner Judy O’Connell’s presentation will equip business owners in the region to grow their businesses by providing them with knowledge and tools to stay ahead of the game.
Topics covered will include cash flow, being paid on time, moving to digital, the impact of cyber security and the NBN rollout.
The breakfast will be held at Ella Goose Restaurant and Functions at 7.30am to 8.45am.
Ms O’Connell said she was looking forward to hearing the issues that were impacting small businesses in the Benalla region.
‘‘It’s important to me to meet with small business people in regional areas as the issues they face are often very different to city-based businesses,’’ Ms O’Connell said.
The event is an opportunity for local businesses to network and learn about the support the Victorian Small Business Commission provides.
Tickets for the event hosted by the Benalla Rural City Council can be booked via Eventbrite.
The VSBC is an independent government agency advocating on issues affecting small business, helping small business learn about their rights and responsibilities and offering advice on how to avoid or resolve any disputes.
