🎧🎧🎧HAVE YOU NOTICED THE BIG BIZ TAKING OVER FROM SMEs? Listen to our free 10 min podcast about this huge problem: bit.ly/3ZYO32O Australia’s small business sector is slowly shrinking, with big businesses creeping in to fill the void. SMEs constitute about a third of GDP, but just 15 years ago that figure was 41 per cent. In the same period, the small business share of the private sector employment market has dropped from one half to a third. The Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman, The Hon Bruce Billson GAICD, argues that we are “sleepwalking into a big corporate economy.” The Ombudsman describes his 14-point plan to support small businesses, from reducing regulatory burdens to offering incentives for innovation and sustainability. He highlights the need for policies that actively support the next generation of business owners, ensuring SMEs can thrive and continue to play an important role in local communities. #BEDAILY #soundcartel
