About Us

The Small Business Institute is dedicated to providing practical small business training to the small business sector.  Giving them a representative voice.

Through our parent company, the Small Business Mentoring Service we have assisted many thousands of small businesses throughout Victoria since 1986.

We have a clear understanding of the challenges faced by small businesses across a wide range of industries and different business cycles.

We truly understand running a small business can be both a rewarding and challenging experience!

ABS statistics tell us there are approximately 2.1 million small businesses (63% with turnovers of less than $200,000 per annum) who are the lifeblood of the Australian economy. The sad reality is, that a large number of these will close their doors in less than 5 years!

The Small Business Institute was created because we believe the small business community lacks a strong representative voice and has a critical need for small business training that is designed specifically for its needs.

When we designed our  small business training programs our focus was to provide a range of offerings, that have practical application in the real world.

Our Programs include a range of workshops, seminars and our flagship offering, the 6 -month Business Accelerator Program, which is designed to help take your business to the next level.

All our small business training programs have been created with the needs of small business in mind.

They cater for different learning styles through a combination modalities including workshops, seminars, webinars, videos and online.

As with everything else at The Small Business Institute, it is all about YOU, YOUR business and YOUR success!

In addition to providing low cost great value small business training  programs, we also provide a range of offers from different suppliers that give fantastic value for full members!
