This year’s Queensland Small Business Week aims to shine a light on our many hard working small businesses said Member for Burnett Stephen Bennett.
Mr Bennett has urged local businesses to apply for funding to host an event during the week of May 27 -31.
“Almost 95 percent of the over 6500 businesses who operate in the Bundaberg region are small businesses,” he said.
“They are the engine room of our economy, employing the majority of our local population.
“This week is about celebrating all the great work that they do.
“The new Queensland Small Business Week Grants program is now open and I’m encouraging all our businesses to apply.”
Grants of up to $5000 will help businesses host an event to encourage networking and progress.
Online applications close on March 3.
