Advisory Sessions with Amanda Wood, General Business

As a proactive community health measure in relation to Coronavirus (COVID-19), a decision has been made, where possible, to switch the face-to-face advisory sessions with other forms of communication including skype, zoom and phone. Your advisor will be in touch to discuss a suitable option. The current $20 fee per session will also be waived until 30 June 2020 to help those facing hardship.

The Southern Business Mentoring Program offers one hour one-on-one business advisory sessions.

Amanda is available to help your business to develop a strategic response to COVID–19.

Areas Amanda can cover include:

• Exit planning
