Enterprise Centres

What are they?

Business Enterprise Centres are independent, non-profit, community-based organisations partly funded by the Department.

Enterprise Centres offer free and confidential business information, guidance and support services to both existing small business and to those who wish to start a business.


What can they offer me?

They provide assistance with a wide range of business issues and referrals to other sources of support for your business.

Your local enterprise centre can assist you in fulfilling the dream of starting or growing your own business.

An Enterprise Centre provides support to people intending to commence in business or self employment and existing small businesses (with five or less employees).

The support provided to businesses include:

  • providing information, assistance, guidance eg. bookkeeping, market research, analysis of business opportunities, finding solutions to business problems.
  • referral to organisations, Government Departments (including the Department of Economic Development and Tourism) which can provide further assistance
  • developing business management skills
  • establishing networks and connections between businesses
  • encouraging the development of an entrepreneurial culture within the local business community.

A centre can also assist local economic development projects that will lead to new jobs and growth in the local economy.
