The Bus will be visit Blackheath, giving local small business operators the chance to access personalised advice from business experts on December 3.

NSW Minister for Small Business, John Barilaro, said NSW is leading the nation on economic

performance and retail trade is a strong part of this story.

“Through initiatives like the Small Biz Bus, the NSW Liberals and Nationals are supporting small business across the state so we can continue this trend,” Mr Barilaro said.

“I encourage small business owners and operators to visit the bus when it comes to town so we

can make sure NSW stays number one.

“Speaking to an advisor can help you take the next step, whether you’re just starting out, wanting to

ensure your business is sustainable or hoping to grow,” NSW Small Business Commissioner, Robyn

Hobbs OAM, said.

Small business owners can access the support of experienced advisers on the Small Biz Bus at no

cost to them.

The bus will be at:

Govetts Leap Road car park from 9am to 3pm on December 3.

John Todd, Executive Officer of the Penrith Valley Business Enterprise Centre (BEC) said they are

excited to have the Small Biz Bus in Blackheath in December.

“The bus provides an excellent opportunity for local businesses to jump on board and connect with their local business advisor,” Mr Todd said.

“Businesses can seek specific advice on running or establishing their business or come and bounce

some new ideas around with an advisor".
