Whether it's your morning coffee, a birthday gift, dinner with the family or the person you call when something needs fixing: small businesses are part of everyday life in the City of Swan.
Behind each one is a person or family investing their time, skills and ideas into serving the community.
WA Small Business Day on Saturday, October 31, is an opportunity to recognise their contribution and make a conscious choice to support local.
Supporting local does not need to involve a major purchase. Small actions can make a meaningful difference to the people running a business.
You could:
These choices help local businesses build their profile, reach new customers and continue providing the products and services our community relies on.
Discover businesses in the City
From hospitality and retail to professional services, manufacturing, health, tourism and trades, the City is home to businesses of all sizes and across a wide range of industries.
If you are looking for somewhere new to eat, shop or book a service, explore the Swan Business Directory. You can search by business type or suburb and discover more of what is available close to home.
Are you a local business owner?
WA Small Business Day is also an opportunity to share your story, introduce the people behind your business and thank your customers for their support.
The Small Business Development Corporation has developed information and promotional resources to help businesses get involved. Visit the WA Small Business Day webpage to learn more.
The City also provides information, programs and practical support to help businesses start, grow and navigate City processes. Visit Business Support to explore the assistance available.
