Small Business Support
Small businesses are the backbone of Queensland’s building and construction industry. They create jobs, employ apprentices and trainees, provide a supply chain of skilled workers to meet the demands of larger projects, and support economic growth and regional development.
To increase their operational and economic sustainability, a series of multi-pronged, tailored strategies are needed to support small firms in Queensland’s building and construction sector. The CSQ Small Business program provides industry-tailored skills and support services for small to medium construction businesses.
This initiative invests in opportunities to build small business capacity and capability, particularly in areas that industry has said they need help in, such as:
- estimating, tendering, quoting and contract management
- marketing and business development
- financial and budgeting skills
- digital skills
- negotiation and conflict resolution
- knowledge to comply with legislations, regulations, standards and codes
- growing Indigenous business capability to support use of local content and Indigenous engagement opportunities in the State Procurement Policy.
CSQ Small Business Contracted Suppliers
Under our Small Business Program, CSQ contracts suppliers to deliver a range of services across Queensland to support small to medium construction businesses. The following suppliers are contracted to deliver services under the 21/22 Small Business program. Please contact suppliers directly for details on the specific services offered by their organisation.
