"I meet hundreds of small business owners every year. What they tell me they need, is real advice from people that have experienced running a business. The Mentors at SBMS have that experience and they actually care about the businesses they mentor. Nothing beats experience and the SBMS Mentors have that in spades!"
Judy O'Connell
Former Victorian Small Business Commissioner
"We want small businesses to thrive and to do this they need to understand their regulatory obligations, keep good records, and manage their cash flow’ I am looking forward to working with SBMS to help small businesses to flourish."

SBMS Chairman since 2019
"Small businesses need all the help they can get, but they don't need it from umpires that have never played the game. SBMS Mentors have run their own successful businesses and as a result can offer insights from real life experiences that helped them to succeed in business and can help you to do the same."
