Practical business help
What's the biggest thing
holding your business back?
Whatever it is, someone else has already fixed it. Let us introduce you.
Practical business help and advice in Australia
You run the business. Something in it isn't working, and you're not sure what to do about it, or even exactly what it is. Working that out takes expertise. We talk it through with you, then find experts who understand the problem, know your industry, and understand what makes business work.
Every expert has to qualify: a conversation with us about their experience, then a detailed profile. Not everyone gets through. They're consultants, advisers and specialist providers, and you choose who to talk to.
Where most owners start
Which of these sounds like you?
Most problems in a business come down to one of these. You don't need the right words for it. Pick the closest.
"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.
Not sure what the problem is?
Work it out in an hour
Working out what's really wrong takes someone who has seen it before. In the Business Growth Workshop you work through it with us, live online, and leave with a prioritised list of actions. A follow-up call afterwards refers you to an expert who knows this kind of problem.
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.
What you get as a member
Experts who made the cut
Every one has to qualify, and not everyone gets through. Consultants, advisers and specialist providers, in three tiers: Expert, Senior Expert and Partner.
Local if you prefer
Every expert is marked by where they work: their own area, nearby, or online. Want someone close by? Search by suburb or state and choose who suits you.
Help working it out
Tell us about your business and the problem you want fixed. We talk it through with you, and your dashboard suggests the experts best suited to it.
Introductions
Choose who you want to talk to and we introduce you. Each plan includes a set number of connections every month.
How the connection works
Three steps to the right expert
1. Tell us the problem
Join, then tell us what your business does and the one thing you most want fixed. Your own words are fine, and you don't need to be sure it's the real problem.
2. 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.
3. Meet the expert
Read their profiles and choose who you want to talk to. Our connection service introduces you, and you take it from there.
One simple plan
Common questions
Who is Connect Business for?
Anyone running a business who has a problem in it and wants help with it, from sole traders to established companies. Size doesn't matter. The problem does.
Who are the experts?
Consultants, advisers and specialist providers with real results under their belt. Every expert has to qualify: a conversation with us about their experience, then a detailed profile. Not everyone gets through. Each expert carries a tier: Expert, Senior Expert or Partner, and only businesses we accept can hold one.
How do I get connected?
Become a member. You can try a search first, and membership is what gets you connected with the experts. Each plan above shows what it costs and how many connections it includes each month.
How do you choose who to introduce me to?
We talk through what's going on in your business first, so it isn't the first name on a list. Your dashboard suggests the experts best suited to it, every one qualified, and matched by location, industry and expertise, and you choose who to talk to.
Will the expert be near me?
If you'd like them to be. Every expert is marked as working in their own area, in nearby areas too, or online, and you can search by suburb or state to see who serves yours.
What if I'm not sure what the problem is?
That's normal, and working it out is part of what we do. The Business Growth Workshop is the place to start: you work through what's holding your business back with us, and a follow-up call afterwards refers you to an expert who knows this kind of problem. The workshop is paid, with 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. See the workshop.
Someone else has already fixed it.
