Message from the Chair
The CGHB is a not for profit small business networking and advocacy group. We are run by a board of volunteers who all have an interest in small business via ownership, consulting, or education.
We are apolitical and do not seek financial assistance from Government sources. Membership fees and our events are our only source of income. For us to remain 100% independent we need support from the small business community by becoming members.
With that support we will continue to offer affordable membership, hold monthly business networking events and provide an independent voice for small businesses in Greater Hobart.

MEDIA RELEASE: Is a backflip all that bad?
During this current Tasmanian State election campaign plenty of terms and slogans are being bandied around in equal measure by both major parties.
Terms like moving forward, strong plan and cost of living relief are used when they describe themselves but what words are used to describe each other’s actions when it comes to policy changes?

Business Grant Writing
Many government agencies offer grant programs. Some are for specific industries or regions. Others are for any industry but may have a particular focus, such as employment or economic growth.
Grant funding is public money and the government has stringent processes to ensure funds are spent fairly and equitably. Each grant will have a rigorous assessment process.
