Greater Shepparton Business Centre has been nurturing small businesses locally for a number of years and has experienced a lot of success in assisting new businesses to get established enough to move out.
Greater Shepparton City Council Manager Investment Attraction, Geraldine Christou said while this might seem a strange aim for the Business Centre it is actually a measure of its success.
“We are happy to see small businesses develop and grow at the Business Centre, it’s a little sad to see them go, but at the same time it is exciting to see a business grow enough to need to move into their own premises,” said Ms Christou.
“The Greater Shepparton Business Centre has had excellent tenants in Construct Drafting. They have been tenants since 2010 but now that their business has grown and they employ more people, they have moved into their own premises.”
Construct Drafting owner Daryl Smith said “The Business Centre certainly suited our needs at the time but now we have outgrown the office and have moved into our new premises. We have increased our business from one employee to three and we do a lot of work in the Melbourne commercial sector”.
“The Business Centre was helpful when I was first setting up the business. I found the seminars they ran throughout the year useful and they suited my business. These are great for new businesses to attend,” said Mr Smith.
“This year we have welcomed new tenants as they begin their small business journey with us. All Custom Glass and Aluminum and Concrete Culture Australia have moved into our industrial sheds, and Nabenet and AgPro Consulting Pty Ltd are operating from our offices” said Ms Christou.
All Custom Glass and Aluminum can organise commercial and residential glass and glazing and include other services such as security doors and screens, shower screens, mirrors, splashbacks, glass fencing and windows and doors.
Concrete Culture Australia specialise in surfaces; bench tops, bars or barbecues, vanities or bath surrounds, light pendants, countertop with integrated sink and exposed pebbles.
Nabenet offers occupational rehabilitation services. They are an independent provider of injury management and occupational rehabilitation services for works and employers.
AgPro Consulting Pty Ltd is an independent agronomic service, operating throughout North East Victoria. Specialising in broadacre and pasture production and developing independent solutions that will optimise farm production, profitability and sustainability.
The Greater Shepparton Business Centre has 16 offices and six light industrial sheds for lease for new small businesses wanting to start out. The leases are more flexible than normal lease agreements. The Business Centre also offers a number of small business and social media workshops as well as mentoring services for new business startups.
The Centre provides a professional supportive environment for home-based businesses looking to further grow their business.
