The
Maldon & District Community Bank is again partnering with Clare Fountain from
Sorted, a regional based small business consultant, to present a new program to support local businesses recover, reshape and rebound after COVID-19. The program will be delivered both face-to-face and online by Clare, and includes 7 live interactive sessions on business planning and 1:1 mentoring before and after.
Business owners will come away with a clear plan of action to relaunch their business post COVID-19. The course is designed to increase participant’s knowledge, identify new opportunities and build collaboration with other businesses in the region.
Participants of the 2020 program noted the program provided them with increased confidence and motivation to work on their business and make decisions. Another business owner commented that the course enabled them to see their business “more objectively without getting stuck in the day-to-day detail”.
The application process is simple – just a paragraph or two about how the program will benefit you and your business. Applications are now open via our website
Partnerships, Scholarships & Grants and close on Friday 18 June 2021.
Maldon & District Community Bank is subsidising this program for 16 local businesses. We are encouraging small businesses from across our catchment area, including the towns and districts of Maldon, Dunolly, Newstead, Harcourt and Mount Alexander region, to apply for the program.
“Never has there been a more important time to change gears and adapt to new horizons. The Maldon & District Community Bank is excited to present this opportunity to businesses in our region; to help them with their ongoing viability and success,” said bank Chairman Ross Egleton. “The value per business is worth over $900, with the Community Bank subsidising the majority of this cost. There is a cost of $150 per business to participate, but if this amount is a barrier notify us as part of your application, as we don’t want cost to be an obstacle to businesses applying or participating,” explained Ross.
