Make resilience
part of everyday
business
Small businesses account for 90% of global companies yet are the group most vulnerable to disaster impacts.
Around 40% of small businesses will never reopen following a major disaster event – devastating lives and livelihoods across communities.
A resilient small business is ready to thrive in the good times and survive future disasters. Our micro-learning approach helps small business owners and operators take positive steps towards doing business better.
We work with:
- micro businesses (1–3 employees)
- small businesses (4–19 employees)
- place-based small business communities
- industry-focused small business communities
