The EC Works Business Enterprise Centres are community-based, not-for-profit business assistance organisations that are owned and supported by locally managed incorporations. They are designed to facilitate the creation, retention and development of sustainable business enterprises and to foster local economic development.

Each EC has access to the talents and resources of all ECs plus federal, state, and local governments providing quality business assistance, often for free (there are some nominal charges for workbooks, software and services).

ECs through their successful public/private partnerships with governments, private enterprise and local communities across Australia provide practical confidential business facilitation services. Additionally these partnerships give EC clients access to a wealth of professional services and government programs.
