The Business Support Program has been an exceptional initiative. Providing small businesses with help that is so specific to their individual challenges, right now, in this changing environment where we can help them be adaptable, flexible and creative, has been wonderful to be part of. The initiative offers immediate one on one help to businesses, when they have the time to be working on their business. Well done City of Greater Geelong on the foresight to introduce such a great program.

The Geelong Business Support initiative has provided an important avenue for local businesses to access much-needed help and support to transition their business to online and build effective digital campaigns. Through the program we’ve helped a number of local businesses set up strategies and campaigns to keep cash flow moving through this difficult time. Businesses need help, support and confidence-building through this time, and this initiative has done exactly that!
