Who We Help

SBAAS supports mission-driven organisations across Australia. We work with not-for-profit and charities and Indigenous services to strengthen governance, funding readiness and impact reporting. Our team helps boards set priorities, write clear policies and design practical programs that serve community needs.

Trades and services rely on clean systems and steady cash flow. We help service trades, home services and personal services improve quoting, scheduling and field operations. Our support covers Xero bookkeeping, HR advice, safety documentation and simple marketing that brings in the right work.

Care providers face tight regulation and workforce pressure. We partner with aged care and allied health to lift compliance, quality and culture. Expect practical tools, from clinical and care policies to training programs, roster reviews and better reporting for managers and boards.

Regional industries need resilient operations. Our advisors back agribusiness and primary industry, transport and logistics, and manufacturing and production with process improvement, safety systems and supply chain clarity. We also support grant and tender bids that fund equipment, growth and innovation.

Experience matters in visitor economies and creative sectors. We help hospitality, hospitality and tourism, and arts and recreation manage seasonality, build strong rosters and grow repeat patronage. Our team aligns brand, campaigns and customer experience so venues and attractions can thrive.

We also serve knowledge-based organisations. Education and training providers benefit from curriculum design support, RTO compliance documents and fit-for-purpose policies. Professional services firms gain marketing strategies, proposal support and operational discipline that protects margins while lifting client satisfaction.

We pride ourselves on tailoring every project to achieve the specific outcomes of our clients, that we are very ‘agnostic’ in the industries we serve, and the fact that we have helped enterprises from the remotest part of Australia to the biggest cities.

Our goal is always more than doing well; it is to do good!

Eric went above and beyond during our initial consultation regarding start-up structure and the best way forward. It was an enriching conversation, and I now have much more confidence moving forward in what already feels like a true partnership.

When I was looking to start my disability support business, I came across SBAAS and had the absolute pleasure of working with Eric and Trudi. They were genuinely so lovely from day one. They went above and beyond for me in every way and I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough! I always felt so supported and like I had people in my corner who actually cared about what I was trying to build. They were super easy to talk to, really patient and took the time to understand my vision and what I wanted my business to look like. Nothing ever felt rushed or transactional. Even now, I still feel like I could reach out if I needed help or had questions and they’d be more than happy to help. I'm so grateful for them and everything they did to help me get started. Thank you Eric and Trudi!

As a startup social enterprise, our team of three had never built a business together before, so having the support of Eric and Trudi Allgood from SBAAS has been invaluable. From business planning, policies and procedures through to bookkeeping support and strategic advice, they've helped us put the right foundations in place for sustainable growth. What we love most is that they don't just give advice—they keep us accountable and focused on moving forward. Many of the things we've struggled with as a new business were second nature to them, and their guidance has saved us countless hours, mistakes and headaches. As sponsors and supporters of our community art gallery, they've also been incredibly generous with their time and encouragement. It's clear they genuinely care about helping small businesses succeed. We're incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend SBAAS to any business owner looking for experienced advisors who truly have your best interests at heart.

Eric was fantastic to work with throughout the process of developing our policy for working with schools. His knowledge and expertise in this area were evident from the outset, and he was able to explain requirements clearly and provide practical guidance that made the process much easier to navigate. Eric took the time to understand our business, answer our questions, and ensure we had a policy that was both compliant and fit for purpose. I appreciated his professionalism, responsiveness, and willingness to share his knowledge. I would highly recommend Eric to any organisation looking for expert advice and support in this area. Thank you again for your assistance, Eric.

Eric has an exceptional ability to quickly understand the brief, cut through complexity, and take decisive action. As a family-run business navigating a very stressful operational reform to align with licensing regulations, his guidance brought immediate clarity and calm. He provided clear, practical instruction and moved quickly, helping us see a structured path forward when things felt overwhelming. Thanks to his expertise and responsiveness, we were able to implement the required changes efficiently and achieve approval far quicker than expected. I would highly recommend Eric and SBAAS to any small or family-run business needing strong commercial support during complex or high-pressure situations.

Yet another business sending spam. Let's cut to the chase. - No, I have never had a "relationship" with you. - Yes, I have reported to ACMA. - No, I'm not going to unsubscribe. You can't just add me to your spam list and expect me to do the work because you are taking the spam route. - Yes, I have reported you to your mailing list provider, "Constant Contact" - Yes I do give low reviews to all of the spamming businesses that email me. - Don't reply with how much you value privacy etc etc. Just don't spam me. - Eric, you hold yourself out to be a "sort-after speaker", and A visionary leader". Maybe a bit less reliance on spam marketing?
