The ASBAS program in WA, Queensland and the Northern Territory is administered by not for profit organisation Business Station which has its head office in Gosnells.

In WA it has around 40 advisers with experience in all facets of the digital world and has programs that operate at various centres around the metropolitan area and across the State.

Executive Manager for Business Station, Colin Jorgensen, said the courses offer plenty of flexibility and include two-hour workshops, webinars for clients who are unable to attend particular locations and face-to-face consultations.

He said small business owners often came to a workshop which helped them understand the particular needs of their business and then they would attend a face-to-face consultation to help them look at specific issues in their business.

Over the three-year life of the program, each small business is eligible for 24 hours of consultation and it often leads to businesses developing longer-term relationships with the consultants they work with through the ASBAS program.

Specific courses include website creation, using YouTube for business, Facebook digital marketing, building your brand with LinkedIn and protecting your business information online, plus many more.
