Practical business help and advice in Australia
Stuck on a problem in your business?
Someone else has already fixed it.
Let us introduce you.
Experts matched to your problem and your kind of business. You choose who you talk to.
What is Connect Business?
Connect Business is for Australian business owners who need practical help and advice. Tell us the problem. We talk it through with you, then find experts who understand the problem, know your industry, and understand what makes business work.
They're consultants, advisers and specialist providers with real results under their belt. Talk to someone who has fixed it before, not someone guessing.
Practical business help
What's the biggest thing holding your business back?
Most come down to one of these. Pick the one that sounds most like you.
"I need more customers."
Enough enquiries, the right ones, and more of them coming back.
"I need people who understand my business."
An adviser, mentor or specialist who gets how your business works.
"I'm working harder than I'm earning."
Not enough money at the end of the month, or not enough hours in the week.
"There has to be a better way."
No answer to hand, or a feeling the business could run better than it does.
Who do you call about it?
Most owners don't have a name. Asking around only reaches the people you know and who they happened to like, and nobody passes on a name that didn't work for them, even if that person would suit you perfectly. We talk it through with you, then find experts who understand the problem, know your industry, and understand what makes business work.
Tell us the problemNot sure what the problem is?
Work it out with someone who has seen it before
Sometimes you know something isn't working, but can't put your finger on it. Working that out is the hard part, and it's a job for someone with experience, not a guess. The Business Growth Workshop is a live online workshop where you work through it with us, and leave knowing what's really holding your business back and what to fix first. It takes an hour.
It's a paid workshop, with a follow-up call that points you to the right expert. If you want more help, you can add a one-on-one guided session.
Backed by a money-back guarantee: attend the session and the follow-up call, and if you still don't have a plan you can use, we refund you.

How it works
Three steps to the right expert

Tell us the problem
Join, then tell us what your business does and the one thing you want fixed. Your own words are fine, and you don't need to be sure it's the real problem.

We look into it
We talk it through with you, and your dashboard suggests the experts who suit it: they understand the problem, know your industry, and understand what makes business work. Whoever you choose gets a summary of what we covered, so you don't start from scratch.
