By Elaine Cooney Small businesses in Shepparton will be able to access relevant, reliable and affordable information about growing their business at a Victorian Government-run workshop. Small Business Victorias workshops and seminars program aims to provide Shepparton businesses and prospective business owners with the facts and advice needed to make informed decisions and create a platform for ongoing success. Last year, more than 4000 people participated in the statewide events, which covered topics such as starting up, financial management, employment and marketing, and were delivered by private sector business specialists. State Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes said the workshop was a great opportunity for Shepparton businesses and those looking at starting their own business to get the latest business advice. Shepparton is a vital regional economy and I encourage local businesses to take advantage of this opportunity to hear from business specialists, she said. 06 Mar 2015 Shepparton News, Shepparton VIC
