IBA Enterprises
IBA Enterprises aims to facilitate the establishment of commercially viable enterprises among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
By providing Indigenous Australians with vital market intelligence, business skills and alternative funding the IBA Enterprises helps motivate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to seek out economic and business development opportunities of their own.
IBA Enterprises does this by developing strategic alliances with Local, State and Commonwealth Government programmes, as well as the banking industry and private sector.
It also gathers regional market intelligence for analysis and improves awareness of training and entrepreneurial opportunities available to Indigenous people in regional and remote areas.
Apart from facilitating the acquisition of skill equity required by Indigenous operators to manage commercial enterprises, IBA Enterprises develops tailored financial products and services that bridge the gap between the financial needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and mainstream financial products and services.
IBA Enterprises provides:
- Business support Services – includes access to professional business and marketing assistance, business and management training, mentoring and access to public and private sector services.
- Business finance – reduced interest loans, grants and/or guarantees are available to Indigenous individuals or eligible businesses. For businesses wanting finance the primary consideration is commercial viability.
- IBA Enterprises also funds Economic Development Initiatives that includes practical guidance on how to develop or implement business ideas, upfront business related skill activities and access to tailored information and products.
IBA Enterprises is administered by Indigenous Business Australia (IBA).
