Northland Business SME Relief Package – A Useful Start


The Small Business Relief Package is a welcome investment in the small-business (SME) sector, said Northland Chamber of Commerce head Jeff Smith

The Northland Chamber of Commerce today applauded the Government sponsored list of initiatives for small businesses saying that It was a good start and encouraged businesses to take a long term ‘ beyond the recession’ approach.

The SME sector – making up over 95% of all businesses and the largest employer group overall – is the most vulnerable sector in Northland. We must invest in them and the people they employ.

The tax package will assist cash flow which right now is king for business,” he said. We are heartened by the number of businesses in Northland adopting an attitude of lets improve our practices as opposed to iving on the dire predictions they are hearing from many quarters.

The other good initiative is around the health check package announced today. Businesses can now go online, complete a short business assessment and receive resources and assistance in those areas they require the most assistance with. The health check can be accessed through the Northland Chamber of Commerce and Far North Chamber of Commerce Websites
