About business support
CCCF business support is a free business review and advice service. It is provided to eligible CCCF grant recipients. Support is delivered through business advisors who work with a service to help identify ways to improve financial viability and sustainability.
This may include helping you to:
- implement sound business practices
- identify cost drivers and potential savings
- transition to a more appropriate business model and/or service delivery model.
In July 2023, we announced business support would be available for the 2023–24 financial year.
