whether they should proceed with a particular business venture. The
Kit has also helped existing business operators to improve business
performance and identify opportunities for expansion. A recent survey
revealed that 93% of previous clients found the information package
useful, and 98% said they would recommend the service to other
people:
"The assistance and information that we received was great"
"Information was detailed and thoroughly researched"
"Very impressed with the promptness and personalised service - keep
it up!"
"The best service I have received from any government organisation.
The staff are very helpful giving personalised service. Personalising
your service to every individual is a very good practice"

you"

the establishment of my new business idea needs."
