The JobKeeper subsidy represents the largest single stimulus initiative ever offered to Australian business. A payment of $1,500 per fortnight for each eligible employee for a period of up to 6 months is a massive underwrite of the Australian economy and already hundreds of thousands of businesses have registered their interest to participate in the scheme. Under this scheme many businesses will be receiving tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars over the six-month period. You cannot afford to get this wrong.

The Federal Government has secured passage of the $189bn economic stimulus package proposed to support businesses and keep Australians in
jobs, but how does that apply to you?
Cashflow is the pain point for many small businesses. It can single-handedly make or break your business even if you’re generally running a
profitable business.
Learn the need-to-knows to improve your cashflow.

Session # 10 - Organisational Review - How many hats are you wearing in your business and what can you do about it?
Most small business owners understand only too well that there are always too many things that need to be done yesterday. Being
under-resourced, both from a time and a staffing perspective, is a continual challenge.
Setting a clear organisational structure ensures that everyone understands their responsibilities to the business. It also helps you
identify where you may need to outsource to ensure the cogs keep moving.

Session # 4 Business Value - Build a business with the end in mind
When establishing a business, most of us
will think about how to 'get there.' However, the widely forgotten yet hugely important contrasting component to a solid business plan is
also to know how you may one day exit the business. An effective exit or succession plan encourages the growth and sustainability of your
business.

questions like:
1. How much profit have I made this year?
2. Why has my profit increased but I have no cash?
3. Is my cash level increasing or decreasing?
4. What is affecting my cash level?

SESSION 2: Successful Selling
You're already good at what you do. However, most business owners have never received any formal sales training. In a world of rapid change,
tighter margins, and greater competition due to digital marketing, it’s essential that business owners dedicate time and energy to
obtaining their share of the market.
