Small Business Support Service

Local businesses can now access a free concierge support service through a pilot program funded by the Latrobe Valley Authority, with staff based at Latrobe City Council, Wellington Shire Council, Baw Baw Shire Council and Latrobe Valley Authority offices.

During the pilot, people who either have a business, or are thinking about starting one, can access the tailored support service which is free, flexible, confidential and adaptable to your specific needs.

The service is highly tailored to your business, as the team work alongside you to achieve your business goals, and provide only the information that is relevant to you.
