4. The many aims of Business Victoria are as follows: To let people have a better understanding of what it is like to own their own business To help people start, run and grow their own small businesses To alert people of upcoming events in which could help them with their business To try and get others who are working for people to instead get interested in small businesses and to inspire them to create and run their own small business The main content areas are: starting and managing a business licences, regulations and taxations workforce workshops to help small business owners how to sell or close your on small business

5. How does Business Victoria offer support? There are step by step guides on how to run and manage your own small business They have contact numbers and e-mails in which you can e-mail for further information on how to start/manage your own business They give you good advice on how to go with the regulations etc which you need when starting a business from scratch They have a service linked to the site which helps you find an adviser or a contact which I think is very helpful for small business owners My opinion: I think that this website is great because it gives you all the information you need to know on starting your own business. Understanding what your in for is what I think the most important thing to know before diving in to owning your own business. Business Victoria gives you all the info you need plus more. One thing that they could do to improve would be I think to cut down on some of the unnecessary info. I think that because they have so much writing on every page it would probably turn some younger people off this site. Sometimes, less is more.

6. Who publishes this website? Business Victoria is published by the State Government of Victoria, Australia and managed by the Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development (DIIRD). Why did the authors decide on making this website? This website was created particularly to help those people who want to start their own business. This site I think would definitely help someone who is new to the business area which I think is why www.business.vic.gov.au was created, to help new comers learn about creating a successful small business that will grow and earn the owners money. The more you know about businesses before you get into it the better. This site makes sure people have some idea of what they are in for and how much they are going to have to put in to manage their own small business.www.business.vic.gov.au
