Small Business issues, reforms, and legislation are attracting a lot of attention in the lead up to the federal election in what has been a huge push by the sector to have a voice on matters of economic decision making.

There are over 2million Small Businesses in Australia and they employ 7millon people across the nation, which accounts for roughly 60% of the entire workforce. Despite these telling figures, Small Businesses collectively feel as though they are overtaxed, over regulated and generally overlooked by the Federal Government.

One organisation have set out to ensure that this trend does not continue, and have set up a campaign to put Small Business on the map, and bring it to the forefront of political agendas and discussions. ‘Too Big To Ignore’ is the name of the movement which has been giving individual Australian Small Business owners a louder voice by representing a chorus of issues and objections that have collectively plagued the sector in recent times.

The campaign is an initiative by the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and more information can be found at their website http://toobigtoignore.org.au/about-the-campaign .

We have thrown our support behind the movement because we feel Small Businesses play an enormous part in the overall performance of our country, not just economically, but socially as well.

If you would like to support the campaign, or follow its progress you can subscribe for updates or even download a media kit so that you can add the logo to your social media pages and or website.

We feel this is a great campaign as it is not only apolitical, but stands to benefit all Australians. Small Business is the engine driving our resilient economy, and we should not take that for granted.
