Taking care of your businesses biggest asset - YOU!

Being the boss lady or man is the dream for many Australians, but anyone who has run a business knows this comes with many stressors and challenges. These sentiments have most definitely compounded the issue in the last 12-24 months, with the economic and environmental volatility we have become accustomed.

We’re sure many of our clients would attest to thinking they would gain more freedom having their own business but found this quickly turned into longer hours, less time with loved ones and generally not a happy chappy. Whilst it can be financially rewarding in the long run, the added responsibility, and unforeseen circumstances, can take a toll on mental health.

The Department of Employment, Small Business and Training have shared a Business Wellness Package including FREE advice and coaching to encourage Small Business Owners to look after your greatest asset - YOU!

NewAccess, by Beyond Blue, for small business owners is FREE, confidential and convenient. Available nationally by phone or video call, with no GP referral required.

Coaches with small business backgrounds work to equip you with practical skills to overcome difficult issues (in business and at home) and manage stress.

Eligibility

To be eligible to access a coach, your small business must (at the time of applying):

  • have fewer than 20 employees (full-time equivalents) and less than $10 million in annual turnover

  • have an active Australian Business Number (ABN)

  • have your small business as your primary income source (i.e. 50% or more of the total income), or you must have a recent record of it being your primary income source and the potential to do so again (as determined by the Network coach or counsellor)

  • be based in Queensland

  • have owners/directors that are not insolvent or are an undischarged bankrupt.

Microbusinesses and sole traders are eligible to access a coach.

Alongside this, while m+h Private can’t run your business for you, we do care about making the running of it as smooth as possible and perhaps our business advisory services could be taking care of more than just the standard ‘tax + accounting’ than you realise.

Whether you are driven by the satisfaction of running your business or you feel like your business is running you, taking time out for you, your family and friends is essential and we hope that all of our clients get the opportunity to prioritise this.

Get in touch with m+h Private tax specialists today on +61 3036 7174 if you need support for you and your business.
