SmartCompany

SmartCompany SmartCompany was founded in 2007 to solve a pain-point in the Australian business community. That’s where SmartCompany comes in.

We fight for, champion and scrutinise SMEs and startups, the 99.8% of Australian businesses with up to 200 staff whose employees comprise 70% of the workforce, and drive Australia’s real economy. Namely, the information business owners need to survive and thrive — be that government bills, legislation, tax office policy, or something else — is often overly and unnecessarily difficult for entrepren

eurs and business owners to access and understand. We are a small business too, and our sole mission is to help other businesses and startups succeed by providing them with the information they need, when they need it, in a way that’s easy to digest. SmartCompany is known for reporting the facts as it relates to the Australian business ecosystem, publishing must-read guest contributions from members of the Australian business community, and for its free daily newsletter, delivered to tens of thousands of inboxes at lunchtime on weekdays.
