Start and grow
your business

Welcome to Enterprising Partnerships

With more than 30 years experience as a business consulting firm, we’ve helped thousands of people create, grow and scale their businesses. We work with startups, entrepreneurs, business owners and leaders and governments. We’re focused on self-determination in business ownership and entrepreneurship.

Our strengths and core areas of work are business mentoring, business coaching and entrepreneurship skills development for self-employment and employment of others. We work with people at the earliest stage of their business idea; at the start up stage of their business and when their business is ready for growth in Australia or globally.

Our expertise assists local governments to ignite a spark in their community to help residents grow their local economy. We assist state and federal governments to deliver critical programs which support businesses to survive post COVID-19 and thrive with solutions to meet emerging and existing problems. 

We transform people into business owners, problems into solutions and leave people we work with more skilled, capable and confident.

Business  Roundtables

Born out of necessity from COVID-19, Business Allies RoundTable (BART) is an alliance of entrepreneurial business leaders committed to encouraging each other to follow through on commitments to their business and their knowledge to support each other. 

These are business leaders and owners who want to accelerate their achievements through learning from each other and guests at monthly Roundtable sessions. They are willing to challenge each other’s goals and to support and advise each other as like-minded professionals.

BART is for men and women in non-competing businesses and structured around teams of business owners and leaders from similar sized enterprises.
