Village Business
Every town has people that get things done. We forge stronger ties between towns & regions, connecting the people who make change.
Bringing changemakers together to build stronger communities
Small and micro business owners ~ business associations ~ chambers of commerce ~ event organisers ~ shire councils ~ tourism boards ~ coworking spaces ~ local investors ~ community groups ~ training providers ~ local media ~ social media managers — and yes, even Bob at the golf club, who gets things done

We’re all about small-town business—we live it, breathe it, and love helping you build relationships that lead to sales. As small-town locals ourselves, we know what it takes to thrive.
Our goal? To help you create a business that works for you—whether that means bringing the lifestyle back into your lifestyle business or expanding through the right connections.
