Expo aims at small businesses

Small businesses will get at least some of their wishes fulfilled at an event in Auckland starting today.

The Small Business Expo aims to give small-to-medium enterprises a chance to find information and answers to their unique problems.

Microsoft is one of the backers and its Small Business Manager, Jan Ferguson, says the annual event, held at the Auckland showgrounds, has become a unique resource. She says it is a one-stop-shop for small businesses, dealing with mentoring, technology, marketing, software and many other things.

Speakers include the EMA's Alasdair Thompson, Ross Hunter from Harvey's Real Estate, and Her Business editor Annah Stretton.

The event runs until Friday afternoon.
