Company Overview:

Enterprise Connect is a $251 million Australia Government initiative to provide Australian small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) with comprehensive support to help them become more innovative, efficient and competitive.

Comprising of six Manufacturing Centres and five Innovation Centres located across Australia, Enterprise Connect provides a national network of services and support for eligible SMEs to access expert, practical advice and support tailored to their individual firms. Enterprise Connect makes it easy for SMEs to source and finance specialist advice, knowledge and technologies to improve their business performance. 

The first level of service offered through Enterprise Connect is a free, comprehensive Business Review, which is conducted by skilled and experienced Business Advisers at a firm's premises.

The next level is a Tailored Advisory Service to help SMEs engage service providers to help implement changes that improve their business performance.  Through Enterprise Connect, the Australian Government will reimburse the firm half the cost, up to a maximum of $20,000 (excluding GST), of engaging a consultant/s to deliver the Tailored Advisory Service.
