Mr Joyce said the program will provide advice and a helping hand to take businesses into their next step of new growth areas to create new opportunities, new markets and new jobs.
He said government information and services may be contacted through a single website or phone number, and eligible businesses will be able to request business evaluations from skilled advisors and to apply for assistance to grow their business.
“Eligible businesses can request a business evaluation, where an assessment provides detailed recommendations and assistance to implement key improvements, boost business performance and growth,” Mr Joyce said.
Mr Joyce said the full range of EIP activities will be rolled out in the coming months, and will provide professional support to assist New England Electorate businesses to lift their capabilities, commercialise good ideas, find market and industry information and get easy access to business management advice and connections to research.
