Penrith Valley Business Enterprise Centre

In late 1987, representatives from the Penrith Rotary Club, businesses within the Community, Penrith City Council and other local interested business people met to discuss the possibility of establishing a Small Business Advice Centre in Penrith. In November 1988, the Penrith City & District Business Advisory Centre Limited was opened. The Small Business Help Centre models itself on a very successful project, with the same name, in the United Kingdom.

The Motto “big business helps all business” was decided upon as the launching pad for the centre’s establishment.

In April 1992, the Small Business Advisory Centre was appointed managing agent for the ‘New Enterprise Incentive Scheme’ which assists unemployed people to start their own business. In 1996, the Hawkesbury City Business Advisory Centre was established to service the needs of small businesses within the Hawkesbury region. In November 2004, a further office was opened at Katoomba to service the Blue Mountains region. All the above offices are Members of Business Enterprise Centre’s Australia and also operate as Business Enterprise Centre’s. In June 2010 Generation YQ Network (aimed at 18-35 year olds) was brought under the banner of the Advisory Centre.
Services provided are funded by the Australian Government and The Business Advisory Service by Trade and Investment NSW.
