Small Business Centre: Warren Blackwood.
Wherever you are in the Warren-Blackwood region — Boyup Brook, Bridgetown, Greenbushes, Manjimup, Nannup, Northcliffe, Pemberton, Walpole, and all places in between — the staff at the Small Business Centre (SBC) Warren-Blackwood can help you achieve your small business dreams.
Our core purpose is to provide free and confidential business information, support, and counselling to existing and potential business people — people just like you.
We are an integral part of the local business community and, through us, you gain instant access to our network of local businesses, chambers of commerce and local and state government contacts.
How we can help you
We can help you establish a new business or expand your existing one. Because we are aware of all the services, subsidies, organisations, government departments and information available to help you develop and grow your small business, we are your 'one-stop shop'.
Our professional staff have practical small business experience and can offer free guidance and advice, or refer you to others in our wide network of local contacts.
Our services are FREE and we run heavily subsidised workshops, seminars and presentations designed specifically for small business. See How we can help you for a list of the services we offer, and Training for more information about our training services.
Who we are
SBC Warren-Blackwood is a non-profit community-based organisation, managed by professional staff and overseen by a voluntary board of management representing the small business community and local government. Our office is conveniently located in the main street of Manjimup, Western Australia.
