The Strengthening Business Service is actively working with businesses in East Gippsland Shire that suffered through the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires. Business facilitators will work with you to strengthen the systems, operations, and strategies of your business. Additionally, they will connect you to the services you need to recover.

They will work with you to develop a roadmap to navigate the challenges and opportunities your business now faces in the community. You will get a documented plan with strategies and goals to achieve in the immediate, medium and long-term.
To help achieve these goals they can offer access to:
- Extensive Networks

- Specialists unique to your business needs
Your facilitator will also be able to provide information about possible funding to help with your recovery.
