Hume City has many established networking groups that can provide support for any business owner whether they be start up, home based, retail, small, medium or large.
We encourage you to reach out and connect with these groups. Meeting new people will expand your connections, potentially open up new opportunities, and can be a powerful tool to grow your business.
StartNorth and the Economic Development Department run various Networking Events throughout the year for Small and Home Based Businesses. These are rotated through various locations in Hume. If you would like to be added to the invite list please email business@hume.vic.gov.au and provide your full name, business name and address and phone number.
