About Local-Businesses-Australia
Our Journey Begins: 2010
Local-Businesses-Australia was founded in 2010 with a simple yet powerful vision: to become the go-to digital hub for exploring and supporting local businesses across Australia. We recognized the immense value that small and local enterprises bring to our communities, and we aimed to bridge the gap between these businesses and their potential customers.
Over the years, we’ve grown from a modest online platform to a vibrant community that celebrates and promotes the diversity and richness of Australian business landscapes. Our journey has been marked by several key milestones:
- 2012: We launched our first dedicated series of articles showcasing ‘Business of the Month’, highlighting outstanding local companies and their unique stories.
- 2014: The website underwent a significant redesign, improving user experience and introducing interactive features to engage readers.
- 2016: We expanded our reach by partnering with local business associations and community groups to organize events and workshops, fostering a supportive network.
- 2018: Local-Businesses-Australia became the premier online destination for Australian business news, featuring in-depth articles and analysis on industry trends.
- 2020: To combat the challenges posed by the pandemic, we introduced virtual tour features, allowing users to explore local businesses from the comfort of their homes.
