Earlier this week KBB got along to the launch of one of the best new resources for regional small businesses with Small Business NSW’s unveiling of the Small Biz Bus.

As you might have guessed, it’s a mobile mentoring and information service that will travel around New South Wales connecting with small businesses.

A similar setup motors around Victoria too and is hopefully in the exhaust pipe of other State governments now that New South Wales has taken the initiative.

"The NSW government thought it was time that small businesses, particularly in rural and regional areas, had better access to business advice and mentoring, so that their business don't just survive but really thrive."

To find out a bit more about this terrific new resource, we caught up with NSW Minister for Small Business Katrina Hodgkinson.

And for a few more details on the specific experts and resources on hand, Small Business Commissioner Yasmin King was there to fill us in.
