Hunter Region BEC
About Us
The Hunter Region BEC is one of more than 130 BEC's that operate nationally to provide new and existing micro and small business clients with practical assistance in business planning, advice on marketing, budgeting and cash flow.
The assistance offered by the Hunter Region BEC is FREE, independent and confidential.

In particular, they assist in the areas of the establishment of new small business enterprises.

Businesses can also take advantage of numerous small business workshops and information seminars to assist in the development of their business.
The Hunter Region BEC also facilitates networking events and opportunities to encourage the growth and support of the business community in the Maitland, Cessnock, Singleton, Muswellbrook and Upper Hunter local government areas.
