23.01.2022 If your small business has been impacted by COVID-19 restrictions, you have a couple more weeks to apply for a state government grant. In Victoria, applications for the $5,000 grants available through the Business Support Fund Expansion close on August 19.

22.01.2022 There’s this big emphasis on ‘how do I create a great life?’ and I think the psychology of that is flawed. I think the real challenge is ‘how do I build a great me?’ Craig Harper (on the Save My Business podcast) (03) 8888 4000 [email protected] www.thepractice.com.au

21.01.2022 In this episode of Save My Business, Jason Cunningham talks to former AFL star turned broadcaster David Schwarz to find out what businesses can learn from elite sporting clubs. If youve never thought about it before, you might be surprised to hear how much like any other business a top-level sporting club is and how many parallels there are between successful businesses and successful footy clubs. For those who are finding times tough, one of the greatest centre half forward...s of all time has some fascinating anecdotes about facing and overcoming adversity and gives us his personal examples of true resilience. Despite being a supremely talented sportsman, the 173-game champion has had many challenges in his life, and in this podcast he shares some valuable insights into the sorts of traits that have helped him survive and thrive across sport, business, and life. Hes also recently sold a successful business and started a new business during the COVID pandemic. Theres plenty to take away from Davids experiences, but its also quite simply a compelling story youll be fascinated by.

16.01.2022 Over the past 4 years my husband and I have refinanced our loans twice with the assistance of Elizabeth from The Practice. During this time Elizabeth has kept us informed of each step and gone above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that our loans have settled on time. Even during the last refinance which has been during the Pandemic, Elizabeth was always available to take my calls and each request was addressed quickly and always with a great outcome. ... Without Elizabeth I think we would have not been able to do this refinance and would have given up. Elizabeth's knowledge of "what's best out there in the market" is excellent and her guidance in helping us to understand the loan structure gave us a lot of comfort that we were choosing the right loan. Thank you Elizabeth! - Julie R

10.01.2022 There’s been a lot of information around about the current state of the finance and property market, and what it might look like for the next little while. Some of that ‘information’ is likely to be close to the mark, some of it not so much! The Practice’s Director of Lending Advisory Craig Ridley believes that there are many reasons to be optimistic, and it’s probably a good time to be proactive.... In this general update, Craig touches on the state of the property market, what’s happening with lenders, and the impact of the Federal Budget and the RBA’s most recent rate drop (03) 8888 4000 [email protected] www.thepractice.com.au

10.01.2022 The extension of the JobKeeper scheme through to the end of March next year is expected to help quite a number of businesses survive the next six months or so.
