Small businesses in the Korumburra and South Gippsland will be able to access relevant, reliable and affordable information on financial management thanks to a forthcoming seminar announced today by Deputy Premier and Member for Gippsland South Peter Ryan.

Mr Ryan said the Improving Cash Flow and Profitability seminar would be held at Milpara Community House in Korumburra at 7pm on Thursday 3 May.

“Last year more than 3,000 businesses throughout the state participated in Small Business Victoria’s workshops and seminars, including many in the Gippsland region,” Mr Ryan.

“Through the Improving Cash Flow and Profitability program, businesses and prospective business owners will receive advise on starting up, financial management, employing people and marketing.”

Mr Ryan said all workshops and seminars are delivered by private sector business specialists who are well-qualified and experienced in small business.

Innovation, Services and Small Business Minister Louise Asher said the Coalition Government recognised the vital role Victoria’s 495,000 small businesses played in the economy of the state.

“We are committed to encouraging small business and individual initiative, and to creating an environment that rewards those who work hard, save, invest and create employment,” Ms Asher said.
