The new Small Biz Matters program is all about People, Policy, Purpose. It is conversational and chatty and dedicated to empowering small businesses and their advisors to engage with policy and advocacy. Why? Because what Government does very much Matters to all Small Biz. Good and bad. A labour of love, in 2014 Alexi Boyd started broadcasting to give back to the local small business community. She knew information and support was lacking. Now with over 220 podcasts, the show is sought by PR Agencies and Government departments for its rich, informative content. Media Partners include universities, the Australian Tax Office, ASBFEO, COSBOA and international fintechs. Sponsored by the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman’s office, each week we sit down with experts, advocates, business leaders, policy makers and politicians to dive into specific areas of government policy that affects your business and clients. We’ll give you a heads up on what’s coming down the policy pipeline, find out who’s fighting in your corner and empower you with ways you can influence those decisions which affect your business every single day. The program is broadcast weekly on Tuesdays live on local community radio Triple H 100.1FM, through the Community Broadcasting network, and wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

The Launch of ASBFEO & Scottish Pacific’s FitsME Essential Guide to Business Funding
On 29th Jul 19 Small Biz Matters interviewed Kate Carnell, the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman, Lielette Calleja, Director of All That Counts and Peter Langham, CEO of Scottish Pacific who collectively launched the new Business Funding Guide.
It was refreshing to see industry heavyweights Scottish Pacific using their data collected from years of small business reporting for the power of good. When the office of the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman noticed a trend they decided to work with Scottish Pacific to develop a framework to support small business in becoming financially fit. It’s a great guide; assisting small business to understand the how, the why and the practical strategies to prepare for funding applications – no matter the funding you’re seeking. With the advice of seasoned finance professionals like Lielette Calleja the guide supports small businesses to have solid knowledge of their business’ performance and be prepared for growth. In particular the funding decision flowchart is an incredibly affective tool to understanding the complexities of small business finance.
As ASBFEO’s media release stated: The biggest barrier to small business growth is access to finance. Small businesses have been feeling the brunt of the credit crunch as lenders tighten their requirements in the wake of the Banking Royal Commission. That’s why it’s so important for small businesses to understand the range of finance providers in the market and to take the steps necessary to become ‘finance fit’ so they can prove their credit worthiness to the lender of their choice. The Business Funding Guide is an industry-first publication that aims to support small businesses in their pursuit of growth and success, through their trusted advisers.
