  Plan Now, Profit Later - EOFY Preparation for Small Business Owners

  As the end of financial year approaches, many business owners find themselves reacting rather than planning — and that can be costly.

  This session is the first of 3 presentations that Grant Pavett from Vizion Accounting will present to SBNG Members in coming weeks, aimed at guiding you through the key considerations to help you prepare with clarity and confidence.

  Grant will cover practical areas including:

  • Planning ahead to optimise your tax position
  • Reviewing business structures and asset protection
  • Identifying risks and preparing for challenging periods
  • Putting simple systems in place to support better decision-making

  With over 20 years in business and a diverse professional background, Grant brings real-world insight to the financial side of running a business.

  Each session is designed to help you take a more proactive approach, so you can head into EOFY organised, informed, and in control.

  Plus of course you'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your business to those present at the meeting as you deliver your 20 second Elevator Pitch.

  Spread the word, invite a friend to register and make it your business to join us!

  Step Into Visibility with the SBNG Spotlight Workshop

  If you run a business, visibility isn’t optional.  It's essential.

  At some point, you need to be able to stand up and clearly articulate:

  • why you do what you do

  • who you help

  • what makes your business valuable

  • and what kind of opportunities you’re seeking

  For many business owners, this is the exact point where their confidence wobbles.  And responding to requests for help with some public speaking confidence, we’re running a focused, practical 4-hour workshop to help you nail this skill.

  In this session, you will:

  • Define your succinct message

  • Clarify the story and inspiration behind your business
    

  • And leave with a repeatable structure you can use everywhere

  This workshop is for anyone who wants to:

  • Step into greater visibility with their business

  • Master their communication wobbles

  • Strengthen how they represent their business

  • Feel prepared vs winging it

  So, if you’re ready to elevate how you present yourself and your business, this workshop is for you.

  Goals Are Your Compass - Mid-Year Check-in

  Earlier this year, we began 2026 with intention - setting goals and defining direction.

  Now it’s time to pause, reflect, and check in.

  At this Erina meeting, I will guide a practical session to help you revisit the goals you set (if you joined us at the January meeting), or create a clear direction for the next quarter if you missed out on that event.

  This session is designed to help you:

  • Review your progress so far and recalibrate if needed
  • Clarify your focus for the coming months
  • Identify opportunities within the room to support your next steps

  A key part of this process is learning how to use your network with purpose - connecting with the right people who can help move your goals forward.

  This is a structured yet relaxed opportunity to reflect, refocus, and make your networking more meaningful.

  
  

  Plus of course you'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your business to other small business owners and managers as you present your 20 second Elevator Pitch.

  The Plus One option is activated, so spread the word, invite a friend to register and make it your business to join us!

  How The Internet Works

  If you have ever wondered why the internet works the way it does, why you're told to turn it off and on again, why your website looks the way it does, and why one company having a bad day can bring the global internet down, this is the talk for you.  

  Guest Speaker - Steve Barry

  Steve is the founder of Terrigal Web Services. With over 15 years of developer experience and a down-to-earth delivery, he's well placed to take you on a whistle-stop tour of How the Internet Works.
