Case study: Helping Stuart get down to business

Stuart is a disability pensioner who has been unemployed for some years but plans to launch his own small furniture removals and window cleaning business.

Having attended a Youth Business Initiative course a few years ago, Stuart recognised that a computer would be a huge benefit in getting his business off the ground.

He bought a WorkVentures low cost PC after seeing our advertisement in the Housing NSW Your Home Newsletter. Stuart is using his computer to:

  • search for an affordable work vehicle
  • research business potential
  • produce a simple promotional flyer
  • develop his financial plans on spreadsheets in the future.

“Without WorkVentures I would not have been able to afford a computer. This PC is perfect for my needs and has helped me get a grasp of using a computer and searching the internet. I’ve also had great technical support from WorkVentures," he said. “My business has a much better chance of success thanks to WorkVentures”.
