Business Enterprise Centre

The Business Enterprise Centre New England North West exists to support small business. Whether you are planning to start your own business or are growing an existing one, we partner with you through the challenging and increasingly complex small business environment.

We do this through providing high quality information and support and connecting you with the specialist services and solutions that will help your business succeed. We work with you to successfully navigate the start-up stage, and we help existing businesses reach their profitability and growth goals.

All our business advisors have a wealth of experience gained as small business operators. And we integrate the latest evidence and best practice into our programs and services so we can help you achieve the best possible outcomes for your business.

Regionally located and supporting regional small business for 25 years at the BEC, we understand the unique regional, cultural, and demographic challenges our small businesses face. We connect small business communities together and create an environment of innovation and diversity through collaboration.

20% of small businesses fail within the first year, 50 % within the first five years, and there is only a 9% chance of a business surviving 10 years. Indeed only 40% of small businesses are profitable, only 30% break even, and the remaining 30% are continually losing money.

At the BEC, We strive to help small business avoid becoming a statistic.

We don’t just dispense advice; we partner with small business. At the BEC, we help you transition through change, take advantage of new opportunities and to successfully deal with the challenges that will inevitably come your way. We also welcome new clients whose business may be facing crisis and need specialist advice and support to navigate a way forward.

Through our resources you access affordable high-calibre training and development, professional services and business advice that equal those which larger, successful businesses draw upon. We not only offer training and development opportunities that will refine and develop your skills, we will actively mentor, guide, and challenge you to reach your potential, and to help you build a sustainable business.

Our fees are highly subsidised and as a community-based not-for-profit company, our success is measured by the high regard for our service delivery and business outcomes that are a reflection of the progress and growth of your business. This guarantees you are provided with the level of service and quality of advice your business needs to succeed.
