Business Bus On Its Way To Hunter

BY XANTHE GREGORY

The NSW government's Business Bus is on route to the Hunter, visiting small businesses Maitland and Cessnock in the coming days.

The Business Bus is part of the multi-million dollar Business Connect initiative, providing support to businesses in metropolitan and regional communities.

The bus will provide specialist advice to business owners on how to become more productive and profitable.

"The bus travels with expert advisors on board to help small business on everything from marketing and financial advice to business planning, digital and creative work," Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Scot MacDonald said.

The Business Bus will visit the following locations from 9am-3pm:

  • Branxton - Central Hunter Business and Community Expo - Miller Park, New England Highway (Saturday 27 October)
  • Maitland - 367 High St (Monday 29 October)
  • East Maitland - Mitchell Drive (Tuesday 30 October)
In the last financial year, the Business Bus visited more than 140 communities across the state providing independent advice to business owners. 

"Speaking to an advisor can help a business operator take the vital next step, whether they're just starting out, wanting to ensure their business is sustainable or aiming to go global," Mr MacDonald said.
