People thinking of starting a business in Wyndham are being reminded that help is available
Wyndham City offers free business training to people considering opening a business or who are in the early stages of operating one.
Wyndham City’s Future Focused Economy portfolio holder Cr Walter Villagonzalo said there are many things potential business owners can gain from the support being offered by Council.
“Opening a new business can be a daunting experience. A lot of time, energy and investment is required to make your vision successful, which is why the support available through Council is so important,” Cr Villagonzalo said.
Council offers free business training, along with a range of training opportunities throughout the year with the 2018 training sessions covering everything from how to get started to legal essentials.
“The sessions are part of Council’s annual business training calendar and in most cases, are offered on a voluntary basis by other local businesses,” Cr Villagonzalo said.
“If you need some help getting your business off to a great start, I encourage you to look no further than your local Council.”
Local firm Crowe Horwath will present this year’s first training session, Starting or Buying a Business—What You Need to Know, on Friday, 2 February.
All sessions are free and bookings are essential. For more information visit www.wyndham.vic.gov.au/businesstraining.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.

It’s great that more entities are trying to help people to realise their dream of becoming entrepreneurs. The support really makes a difference! The process is lengthy and it might seem discouraging at first, but after you see it written black on white or hear a step-by-step explanation you understand that starting a business is possible.
In this day and age, you can find anything online if you know where to search for. This is a guide for starting a business in Australia as a foreigner, but I really think it’ll be helpful for anyone who wants to see what the process is:
