Online Services Register

An on-line advanced business register for the business services sector for Greater Bendigo
The Bendigo Professional Services Group (BPSG) are concerned that many of Bendigo’s business service consumers are outsourcing their usage of these services to non local providers simply because they do not know that such services are readily available from within our business community.

In considering the most effective means of increasing business awareness of Bendigo-based business services capability, BPSG is proposing to seek input from business service providers into an on-line advanced business services register initiative that aims to:

  • provide a sustainable electronic platform for business service users to identify quality Bendigo-based business services, and
  • utilise this platform for promotion, marketing and other value-adding services to enhance local business service provider’s development and growth opportunities.

Proposed Scope of an advanced Business Register:
The on-line advanced business services register being considered is more than just a business directory. Potentially it could provide many value-adding features for a business services provider including the:

  • promotion of the capability (including local specialist based skills, expertise and equipment) of an individual business services provider,
  • marketing of new business services,
  • listing of professional vacancies, plus
  • member only services such as tender information, business discounts and on-line advertising.
