"Whilst I don’t actually get anything ‘physical’ out of taking part in the surveys, I always take something away for myself and my business. By participating, I find myself thinking about or even questioning our procedures, from staff to customers and suppliers, how we generate sales and how we present ourselves as a whole."

"SME Boardroom provides a valuable service for SMEs in Australia. Its White Papers give a quick snapshot of SME opinion on a certain subject and I have found this very worthwhile. It is important to see the themes that come out of their surveys on specific issues and be able to understand where the SME community stands. It is only through a collective model such as SME Boardroom that SMEs will have influence on government policy."
Amy Lyden - Director
Blueberry Consulting
And former Member of Federal Government’s Small Business Council (2003-2005)

 

"For too long Australian small owners have been unable to successfully articulate their challenges to government. SME Boardroom provides a voice that can help government to shape polices that support this vital part of the Australian economy."

Surveys

Overview

SME Member Surveys are conducted throughout the financial year on topical SME issues and benchmarking criteria. Only SME owners may complete these surveys. The results are compiled into White Papers and distributed to government and the media in order to provide a united voice for SMEs in Australia and to influence government policy.

To participate in Surveys, you must be a SME owner and a registered Member of SME Boardroom.
