Small Biz Matters – #172 Providing the small business community with educational content and advocacy since 2014
with Alexi Boyd, broadcaster, advocate and small business owner.
Date: 25 August 2020
With a welcome influx of innovative startups into our small business community it is helpful for experienced small business owners and newbies to understand the Startup Support Landscape.

We need to have information to help our friends the startups and (insert descriptive text here)-Preneurs to navigate the brave new world.

Topics we’ll be covering:
