1997Representatives from the Penrith Rotary Club, businesses within the Community, Penrith City Council and other local interested business people met to discuss the possibility of establishing a Small Business Advisory Centre in Penrith.
A Grand Opening

1988Penrith City & District Business Advisory Centre Limited was opened. The Centre models itself on a very successful project, with the same name, in the United Kingdom.
New Enterprise Incentive Scheme
Giving everyone a fair go.
1992The Centre was appointed as a managing agent for the ‘New Enterprise Incentive Scheme’ which assisted unemployed people to start their own business which we delivered successfully for over 23 years.
Expanding Beyond
New areas and new challenges.
1996The Hawkesbury City Business Advisory Centre was established to service the needs of small businesses within the Hawkesbury region and in November 2004, a further office was opened at Katoomba to service the Blue Mountains region. These officers are no longer opened as we are a fully mobile service.
