Is your small business in need of a steer? Perhaps your business needs a hand up?

Well The Chamber of Commerce says there's knowledge and a willingness to help in Tauranga. And that's why it's launching its Small Business Tauranga Group at a special breakfast on Wednesday, February 17, at Club Mount Maunganui.

'There's been a lot of interest and support for this initiative from the Tauranga business community,” says Chamber of Commerce CEO Stan Gregec.

Stan promises the event will provide maximum value and information for the owners of small businesses.

The timing also coincides with the announcement of the Chamber's new Business Growth Team which will provide new strands of advisory services and other assistance to small businesses.

This includes the popular Business Mentors service.

'2016 is going to be our year for supporting small business,” says Stan Gregec.

The Chamber is inviting all small business owners to attend the breakfast and see what sort of advice and assistance is on offer.
