Boost from Rudd for small businesses

[Brendan]

Well this is some good news from the Rudd government, it looks like the are investing and setting up a number of centers across Australia to help assist Entrepreneurs and SME's in regards to technology and best practice advice.. This scheme will be called Enterprise Connect.

It doesn't sound like too bad an initiative, and hopefully some of us will get a real benefit from it..

Or, maybe we could just point them all here to AT, :p

Your thoughts on this scheme? Would you use a center like this?

[kingchevy]

Would be helpfull but how skilled are the people working for them...

[crackers]

Yeah its okay! I dont really know how it would work but any help is good.

Its a start and it sounds like they are on the right track... I would probably give it a go to show support for the idea... if everyone does that, then the government will put a lot more money into small business... hopefully :)

Yeah let's cut $900m of Commercial Ready and replace it with $251m of these new centres. There are already small business centres around Australia.
