Business upgrades

Business planning

Get your business off to the best start or map your business growth. Business planning helps you identify exactly what your business is and its journey to success.

Permits, licences and regulations

Planning on starting a business or expanding a current one? If so, there may be permits, licences and regulations that you need to consider. Investigate the local, state and federal government permits, licences and regulations relevant to your business.

Continuity planning for resilience and recovery

Business continuity planning gives you the opportunity to identify potential disruptions to your business. This allows your business to introduce preventative measures and actions to mitigate a disruption before it becomes a crisis. A plan will also guide your business in its recovery following a crisis.

Sustainability and energy

Sustainability has become increasingly important in business and it’s not just because of the environmental impacts: It can also increase operational efficiencies, improve consumer attractiveness, and consolidate business relationships.

Grants, funding and programs

Discover capital raising opportunities from grant and funding programs delivered by government, private and other organisations. You can also find tools and support on how to make a strong grant application. 

Networks and support

Build a network consisting of your local Chamber of Commerce, Industry Groups and the wider Sunshine Coast Business Community. These relationships can provide your business with support and offer unique opportunities. Collaborate with other businesses or seek advice and gain insight from their past experiences. 

Digital upskilling

Digitalisation has evolved how businesses operate and work in a global economy. Businesses can now harness online tools, programs and strategies to help improve processes, collaboration and innovation in the workplace.
