Small Business Friendly Council – Red Tape Reduction Survey

Share your insights about red tape challenges for businesses in your local area to help create a more supportive environment for business success.

What's being decided?

We understand that red tape can create challenges, but we do not always know where those challenges lie – which is why your feedback matters.

By completing this anonymous short survey, your unique insight will help your council better understand the barriers small businesses face when dealing with local government. Your insights will inform current and future efforts to make council processes more responsive and to develop initiatives that are supportive of small business needs.

Background

The Small Business Friendly Council (SBFC) aims to foster a thriving business environment in local communities by reducing administrative burdens, streamlining processes, and providing councils with valuable small business insights and resources.

Participating councils have pledged to work with small businesses to look at opportunities to reduce red tape across areas that matter most to their locality. Councils play a pivotal role in ensuring that small businesses have the best opportunities for business success.

The SBFC initiative is led by the Small Business Commission SA.

What are the next steps?

Your responses will be collated to identify key areas of focus for each council, as well as broader patterns across local government. The data collected will be invaluable in informing council efforts to reduce and address red tape for small business in your local area.

Aside from providing much needed insight into red tape reduction focus areas, councils will select one primary area to target through a dedicated project.
