We chat with Felisimina about NORTEC Small Business Solutions:

What does NORTEC Small Business Solutions offer:

The company offer a range of government-funded and commercial recruitment, vocational training and support for small businesses through mentoring and advisory services, including the Business Elevate program, which is part of the Australian Small Business Advisory Services.

How does the company help other Tweed businesses succeed?

People choose to be in small business because they want to be in control of their future. The Business Elevate Program is about supporting business owners to be in control and create a business that works for them. NORTEC Small Business Solutions is about supporting small business owners by up-skilling, working with their business, networking and mentoring.

What's so special about small businesses on the Tweed?

Small business is the lifeblood of the economy. What I love about small business owners in the Tweed is that everyone is dedicated to achieving a very positive work-life balance. The gratitude the small business owners have for living in such a beautiful part of the world means they also bring a very positive energy to their business.

NORTEC is located in Murwillumbah, Pottsville and Tweed Heads.
