"Most business owners know every detail of their product or service but many can lack the skills needed to turn their ideas into successful and sustainable businesses," he said. "Small business advice and support service programs are uniquely positioned to help entrepreneurs access resources through the business community."
By focusing on developing a new generation of entrepreneurs, many of whom have ties to the local area, communities are helping to build companies that will create jobs and spark economic growth in the region for years to come.
Mr Starbuck said the programs provided targeted business assistance at a time when young businesses were at their most vulnerable, along with business support and advice services to give them a greater-than-average chance of success.
The new small business centre is at Suite 2/8-10 Stafford Street, Midland.
