ASBAS Digital Solutions

Business Foundations are the program managers of this initiative for 2023-2026.

Liz Haselgrove (the founder and CEO of BOSS) is one of their Digital Experts.

Digital Solutions (part of the Australian Small Business Advisory Service) is a federally funded service that offers expert advice at a significantly subsidised rate. Focusing on everything digital, this fantastic program helps small businesses and start-ups to access expert advice and support.

The cost to you is only $100+GST for up to three hours of expert digital advice (plus a Planning / Assessment Session).

Your first session will be with a Digital Specialist who will work with you to assess your business needs and give you a clear action plan. You’ll then be referred onto the right Digital Expert(s) to help you improve your business’ digital presence and your own skills.

There are also lots of free workshops available.

How it Works

Complete the online form and pay the $110 (including GST).

If you / your business are located in any of the areas mentioned above, email them first to request a voucher to cover this cost, so that it is then FREE to you!

Your first session will be with a Digital Specialist who will work with you to produce a personalised action plan, including details of how to book in your Digital Expert sessions.

Have three hours with a Digital Expert which can be split into 2-3 sessions with two different Experts.

If you would like a session with Liz, make sure that you mention this in your initial planning session.

Book in directly with Liz for your session(s). You’ll need to have had your initial session with the Digital Specialist before our sessions can take place.

  • In your initial session with the Digital Specialist, you can certainly mention that you’d like to have time with a specific Expert. If this matches what you need, they’ll be added to your Digital Action Plan.

  • Unfortunately, funding is only available for one set of sessions per ABN over the course of the 3 year program (2023-2026). Having said that, if you have two ABNs or your business partner has a separate ABN, you can access these services more than once.

  • If you would like to have further sessions with one of your Digital Experts, this may be possible if the Expert offers this additional service. Any additional sessions will be charged privately and will no longer be within the scope of the government-funded service. We suggest discussing this rate with your Expert and being clear on what will be included for that price, before continuing the relationship outside of the Service.

  • If you have already had sessions with Liz through the Digital Solutions program, you will receive a significant discount on Liz’s usual rates and can pay the Members Only price for any additional time with Liz.
