Testimonial
Now we’ve employed somebody casually so I’m not working 24-7. We got a grant to put in a poultry abattoir in the next 12 months. If we hadn’t made contact I don’t think we’d be very far along. It’s been awesome, it really has. It’s helped us put perspective on our business and where our priorities should be.
Primary producer/rural small business owner
Covid was a big hit. It basically wrote the whole season off for us. Like most…when the pressure’s on you’re a bit too proud… most of the cashflow budgets and plans were in my head... having it all on paper and a forward plan, so we all know where we’re going and we tick projects off as we go, it’s been a lot better than trying to wing it.
