Do you own, run, or work for an Australian SME? That’s a business with under 200 employees.
If so, and you think you’re doing well, we’d love for you to enter the Smart50 Awards!
Such businesses represent what we at SmartCompany call the 99.8%. That’s because virtually all Aussie companies are SMEs. You are the drivers of the real economy, comprising more than half our our nation’s GDP, and providing jobs for more than 70% of employees.
And despite what you (don’t) read in the pages of the mainstream business media, we think your achievements and excellence are worth celebrating, and recognising.
