Small Business Tauranga (SBT) is a Tauranga Chamber of Commerce network that connects, supports and celebrates the small businesses (under 10 staff) of the region. We make it easy for business owners to join in and be part of a vibrant and supportive local business community.
Our regular breakfast networking events are a great way to make new contacts and to increase the profile of your small business.
Our monthly 90-minute Fully Charged training sessions get straight to the point of what you need-to-know on essential small business topics. Or come to our DIY Digital Skills Day series for help with digital knowledge and upskilling.
If you’re new to town, or looking for ways to grow your small business, we can connect you to the people you need to know, introduce you to other networks and sources of assistance – and give you a steer on what’s happening locally.
It’s never been easier to join in, and to get massive benefits from belonging to a network group that’s tailored just for you.
