'Tougher Times-Smarter Business' is a Sunshine Coast Enterprises program which is partially funded by the Australian Government Small Business Advisory Services initiative administered through AusIndustry. The program incorporates Business Clinics services as well as workshops specifically designed for small businesses which will run from June to December 2009. Business Clinics
The business world has changed forever. Small businesses on the Sunshine Coast are increasingly more exposed to the impacts of the current economic climate. In response to this crisis, SCE has initiated the Business Clinics program to support small businesses on the Sunshine Coast to maintain and strengthen their business ‘health’. The Business Clinics offers your business a FREE one-on-one private appointment with a legal or financial professional where a ‘prescription’ may be given. If you are interested in service, we ask that you complete a Diagnostic Questionnaire which will help us match you with the appropriate professional advisor.
