FEDERAL Lyons MP Eric Hutchinson today welcomed government funding from the Australian Small Business Advisory Service program for Break O’Day Business Enterprise Centre

The Break O’Day Centre was one of three Tasmanian small business advisory services across the state to receive more than $1.3 million funding announced by Small Business Minister Bruce Billson today.

Mr Hutchinson said that Break O’Day would receive $330,000 over three years to further its support of small business on Tasmania’s East Coast.

“Local communities in Lyons know small businesses are the engine room of our economy,’’ Mr Hutchinson said.

“That is why I am working to ensure small business – whatever their stage of start-up or expansion – has access to professional and low cost advice.’’
