Show your support for Broome's small businesses tomorrow - Small Business Day!

Written on the 27 October 2017

Tomorrow - Saturday 28 October, small businesses throughout Western Australia will receive the recognition they deserve and exemplify how significant their contribution is to the WA economy.

WA Small Business Day celebrates the thousands of small business operators and entrepreneurs, who have the courage and dedication to supply diverse products, employ local staff and contribute greatly to the social fabric of our society.

Small Business Matters is an initiative developed for the greater good of the small business sector; a movement not owned by anyone but rather owned by everyone!

WA Small Business Day has been created to:

·           INCREASE THE PROFILE AND AWARENESS of the small business sector in WA.  

·           CELEBRATE AND RECOGNISE the contribution that small business makes to WA.

·           ENCOURAGE CONSUMERS to make a conscious decision to THINK SMALL FIRST and support small business enterprise.

In 2017, WA Small Business Day welcomes again our Premium Supporting Partner, Bankwest. Through this partnership and your assistance, we aim to create more awareness and action around such an important sector of our community.

The Broome Chamber asks everyone to make an effort tomorrow to show their appreciation to a small business, either in-person or online.  The Chamber has posted a video on our facebook page which we invite you to like and share or send a special message yourself.

On behalf of Broome we thank every small business for working hard and contributing to our community.
