Resilient Ready CEO and founder Renae Hanvin said: “Insurance is critical for every micro to small business.
“These talks are about understanding what South Australian small business owners currently think and do when it comes to small business insurance – so we can help build that knowledge and support every small business to thrive.''
Small and Family Business Minister Andrea Michaels said: “We know that unexpected events, emergencies and natural disasters can have devastating consequences on small businesses.
“That’s why the Malinauskas Government is supporting Resilient Ready to deliver these valuable sessions on the importance of business insurance to safeguard their assets, employees and overall operations.”
South Australian Small Business Insurance talks are being delivered as part of a SAFECOM funded disaster risk reduction grant delivered by Resilient Ready in collaboration with the South Australian Department for Industry, Innovation and Science (DIIS) and the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia (COSBOA).
