There are over 2 million small businesses in Australia, employing over 7 million people. That's over 60% of our workforce. Yet, for too many years, small business has been overtaxed, overregulated and overlooked by government.

The upcoming Federal election presents small business with a rare opportunity to get on the political agenda. But, small business is, by nature, small. The only way they can make a big enough noise to be heard in Canberra is to bring all those small voices together.

This campaign has been developed to do just that. By uniting the many small voices of small business all round the country, our aim is to show politicians that, together, small business is too big to ignore.

This website brings together in one place, deeply personal accounts from real small business operators who have agreed to share their stories here.

If you're a small business operator, if you work for one, if you care about small business or if you dream of one day opening one of your own, this website is for you. It's your voice, your forum and your opportunity to help ensure small business gets the fair go it deserves.

Please lend your support and add your voice. Because with your help, we can ensure the big voice of small business gets heard this election. You may be a small voice on your own, but here, it's a voice that counts. Our aim is to bring together as many small voices as we can to ensure small business issues are too big to ignore.
