We Help Get Your Results
Boost your business potential with tailored strategies, expert consultation, and hands-on assistance designed for your success.
Empowering Australian Small Businesses for Success
At SBAAS, we understand the unique challenges faced by start-ups, sole traders, and businesses with up to 20 staff. These small enterprises comprise 97% of all Australian businesses, yet they are often overlooked. We are here to change that by providing the support and expertise needed for your business to thrive.
Proven Support During the Pandemic and Beyond
During the COVID-19 pandemic, SBAAS played a pivotal role in supporting businesses of all sizes and industries through a government-contracted call centre. We assisted enterprises—commercial and not-for-profit alike—in navigating the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic. This included guiding businesses in accessing government assistance, resolving industrial relations issues, and pivoting strategies to adapt to a rapidly changing environment.
For instance, we helped a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) expand its operations into a new state, enabling them to offer their services to a broader market despite the uncertainties of the pandemic. In the hospitality sector, we worked with businesses to transform their service models, such as adapting to takeaway and delivery options. These changes not only helped them survive during the crisis but also set them up for ongoing profitability in a post-pandemic world. These examples highlight SBAAS’s ability to provide impactful, tailored solutions that deliver both immediate and lasting benefits.

At SBAAS, our expertise goes far beyond crisis support. We are dedicated to helping our clients achieve long-term growth and resilience by focusing on key areas of business improvement:
