Business confidence is in decline. Devastated by the bushfire. The State Governmet of NSW is commitment to bushfire recovery at a massive cost of State resources. Damien is dedicated to helping businesses in NSW doing business with other businesses in NSW and especially about #buylocal and #buynsw.

Digital is critical to the success of any business, and Damien Tudehope threw out some impactful stats.

• 63% of small business are online, and they don’t do it well
• 93% per large business are online

Businesses need to find solutions to be found digitally, and they should invest more in security, servers and cyber security. Findability is a necessary step to not just going online but truly succeeding.

Devastation like Bushfire, really highlight a businesses weaknesses, and this makes having the right contingencies in place along with the ability to diversify and pivot in your revenue stream. This raises concerns about businesses that may underinsured themselves – or worse – not insure themselves at all. Here are some insurances that a business needs to consider

• Income protection
• Business interruption.
• Loss of attraction.

Payroll Tax Reform 2020

Regressive taxes such as payroll strangle small business and dampen growth, so when disasters like the bushfire slow economic growth, costs like payroll tax can have have massive implication on cash-flow which could be better spent on staff, wage increases and innovation. Damien Tudehope knows that more needs to be done and he was a great istener. We hope to see  our members contribution and real life stories move our decision-makers in the right direction.
