IT’S TIME FOR A CHECK-UP!

A MESSAGE FROM LORD MAYOR GRAHAM QUIRK

Just like you, your business requires regular health checks to identify potential issues before they impact overall performance. From checking your tax compliance (ato.gov.au) to refreshing marketing activities or broadening your network (choosebrisbane.com.au), a check-up now could mean the difference between finishing the financial year in the red or the black.

Welcome to the first edition of Business in Brisbane for 2019. If you’re planning to start, run or grow a business this year, you will find valuable information on resources and practical tips inside this edition.

Council is dedicated to making your business journey as easy as possible. Our website offers resources to help start, run or grow a business, including information on licensing, laws and permits. Visit brisbane.qld.gov.au/business

Business events are a great networking opportunity. Over the next 12 months, Council and Brisbane Marketing will present a range of free and low-cost events giving you the chance to connect with like-minded people and gain helpful insights from industry experts. We are also helping small business with partnerships in the suburbs. Our Local Business Partnership Initiative brings together businesses and Council to collaborate on opportunities to support and grow the local economy – read about the Wynnum Local Business Partnership Initiative on page 4. Our Small Business Liaison Managers, Terri Cooper and Natalie Scalisi, work closely with local businesses through free one-on-one consultations. Take the opportunity to discuss your business with them and learn about the Council resources available to meet your needs. These are just some of the ways Council is supporting local businesses in 2019. Visit brisbane.qld.gov.au/business for more information. Graham Quirk LORD MAYOR
