Jenny Whip, Chief Executive Officer of Rural Financial Counselling Service Southern Queensland (RFCS-SQ) said yesterday: “This service understands how important Small Medium Enterprises are in rural and regional communities, and recognises that small businesses are finding conditions very difficult with the wide- ranging effects of prolonged drought. “Businesses that have previously been able to withstand adverse economic conditions are facing additional pressures with their longstanding customers and clients in financial difficulties of their own.” “While the drought is beyond anyone’s control, there are ways that business can manage current financial difficulties and position themselves for a better future,” Mrs Whip said. “The Small Business Rural Financial Counsellors understand small business, and the communities they serve, and offer free, independent and confidential services that will assist small-medium businesses that are experiencing financial hardship as a result of the drought.” To speak to a Small Business Rural Financial Counsellor please call 1300 732 777 or email [email protected]. Small Business Rural Financial Counselling Service is supported by the Queensland Government and Financial Counselling Foundation. 1
