South Australia Small Business Statement

What can the South Australian Government do to assist small business?

Lets hear from you!

The State Government wants to hear from the community during its preparation of a Small Business Statement, which will help shape South Australia’s future small business policy.

The objective of the Statement will be:

“To create the most supportive business environment in Australia for small business to grow and prosper.”

Small business continues to be a fundamentally important component of the State’s economy, employing more than 46 per cent of the total non-agricultural private sector workforce.

The State Government is committed to assisting small business, and we want to hear about barriers you may be facing and assistance you may need to ensure the Government is delivering the right services.
