BEC Australia consists of over 130 members and associate members located
around Australia. Each is an independent organisation which has chosen to take
advantage of the benefits that membership to BEC Australia brings.
Business Enterprise
Centres are community-based not for profit non-political business assistance
organisations that are owned and supported by locally managed incorporations.
They are designed to facilitate the creation, retention and development of
sustainable business enterprises and foster local economic development.
BECs
through their successful public/private partnerships with governments (federal,
state and local), private enterprise and local communities across Australia
provide practical confidential business facilitation services.
Through BEC Australia,
each BEC has access to the talents and resources of all BECs in the BEC
Australia network plus strategic partner resources to provide quality business
assistance. These vital partnerships provide BEC clients access to a wealth of
professional services and programs in addition to government programs offered.
BECs are well equipped
to support the needs of small and micro businesses throughout their stages of
development - from commencement to operation and growth, through to succession
planning and implementation.
The strength of the
BEC network is that it provides independent confidential competent business counselling
and other practical assistance to foster viable local businesses in order to
boost sustainable economic development through the business sector. An initial
consultation is in most cases provided for free however there may be nominal
charges for workbooks, software and further services. We do offer fee for
service assistance.
