Thinking about expanding, or branching out with new product lines? 

Two forums are offered for local businesses to understand how to find the facts and figures you need to grow your business. The forums open with a focus on the economic drivers in Meander Valley, followed by “business smarts” and a demonstration of software that supports business decision making.

Greg Turner from The Project Lab will provide business advice to assist with starting a new business, growing and improving existing businesses, or developing a marketing strategy.

Ryan James from .Id Consulting said participants would receive an introduction on economy.id and the various software tools available to find information about the local economy. This includes information about demographics by suburb, and local markets, agriculture and tourism. 

The forums will be held on Wednesday, 2 November at the Empire Hotel, 19 Emu Bay Road, Deloraine at 12.30pm – 2pm (lunch provided); and the Australian Italian Club, 414 Westbury Road, Prospect Vale at 5.30pm – 7pm (supper provided).
