Events & Workshops

Be ready for whatever comes next.

Running a small business comes with constant challenges — from market shifts and supply chain issues to natural disasters and economic uncertainty. While you can’t always predict what’s around the corner, you can take practical steps to strengthen your business and plan for the unexpected. This workshop is designed to help business owners do exactly that — build resilience and confidence through practical tools, proven strategies, and peer support.

Delivered in a single, focused three-hour session, Building Business Resilience will guide you through identifying key risks, strengthening your financial and operational foundations, and planning for long-term sustainability. You’ll explore real-world strategies for managing cash flow, improving agility, and leveraging your networks to adapt quickly when conditions change. The workshop also introduces structured tools such as risk mapping and scenario planning to help you make confident, informed decisions under pressure.

Whether your business is navigating change or planning ahead for growth, this workshop offers immediate value and actionable takeaways. You’ll leave with a tailored resilience action plan, shaped by your specific business context and supported by experienced guidance. Join other small business owners in building a stronger, more resilient future — for your business, your team, and your community.

This workshop is presented by SBMS and proudly sponsored by the City of Parramatta in collaboration with UNSW Founders.
