Today I thought I would share some important business resource sites to find information from that will be of use to many of you.
So here they are:-
Business.gov.au - offers you simple and convenient access to all the government information, forms and services you need. It's a whole-of-government service providing essential information on planning, starting and growing your business.
I LOVE this site for a wide variety of information from Business checklists & templates, Info on grants and assistance for small business, Government and business associations directory, links to apply for and look up ABN Numbers, tax info, home based business info, registration & licences, how-to guides, etc.
BEC Australia -is a not-for-profit organisation whose primary role is to support and grow the national network of Business Enterprise Centres and provide representation on behalf of its members to key stakeholders.Of course there are many more but I felt these were the vital ones that many of you need to check out... I hope you find them as useful as I do
Business Enterprise Centers Australia are a GREAT resouce with local events in your area. I'll be attending a few myself this year after hearing about them at a networking event. In NSW alone there are over 40 centers accross the state. be sure to check them out, look at the resources available to you and attend a few events.
ACCC- The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is an independent statutory authority. The ACCC promotes competition and fair trade in the market place to benefit consumers, business and the community. It also regulates national infrastructure industries. Its primary responsibility is to ensure that individuals and businesses comply with the Commonwealth's competition, fair trading and consumer protection laws.
This site provides information on many topic from dealing with customers, product safety, dealing with other businesses, running your business, industry codes of conduct, professions & competition, product safety and labeling requirements, etc. They also provide information for the consumer like consumer guarentees for goods & services, warranties, resolving an issue, how to write a complaints letter, your rights, shopping and pricing, product safety etc.

Ok so this one might not be a .gov site but it is still very useful for hints tips and avice, articles etc. I am a fan of Kochie's Business guides and i'm sure you will find some aspect of this site useful. The even have a section for Women In Business, families in business and cover important issues like marketing, sales, fnance and tax etc. check this one out!!
Scam Watch-a site to help you recognise, report and protect yourself from scams. Explore SCAMwatch to find out more about the scams that target you or your small business.
I think this one speaks for itself... Very useful tool for those small businesses who may not be aware of all kinds of scams going around... find information about different types of scams and even report a scam!
