Supporting and encouraging people who are considering, planning and starting a business by providing free assistance.
Business South was specifically formed to promote, encourage and support self-employment and entrepreneurship.
In June 2023 the Federal Government defunded our wonderful Entrepreneurship Facilitator Program. Sheer stubbornness and determination kept Business South operating for another six months (to January 2024) when the board resolved to place Business South into hibernation pending future funding opportunities.
We have now made our website available as a resource to those wishing to start and grow small businesses in Tasmania.
We proudly serviced twelve Tasmanian local government areas.
Business South was part of the Kingborough Community Enterprise Centre – a major regional stakeholder in Southern Tasmania. KCEC has celebrated over 20 years of providing business advice and assistance to small and medium businesses, including start-ups, established businesses and those looking to expand.
