Small business is a long-term Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) priority. The ACCC has recently launched a new small business web page designed to support small business and franchise owners.

This centralised, easy-to-navigate resource brings together key information, tools, and guidance tailored specifically for small business needs. Whether you are just starting out or already running a small business, the page is designed to help you better understand your rights and responsibilities when dealing with customers, competitors and suppliers.

What you’ll find

At the core of the new web page is the small business toolkit. This practical resource provides clear and accessible information on dedicated topics including unfair contract terms - an ongoing ACCC compliance and enforcement priority.

Other features of the new web page include

• guidance on how to report an issue affecting your business or franchise through the ACCC’s Infocentre
• information on how the ACCC supports small businesses through advocacy, education, and enforcement
• news updates on the latest small business developments, with link to the ACCC news centre
• easy access to relevant industry codes of conduct
• quick links to other ACCC resources including information on consumer rights and guarantees.
