What Makes Us Different
Most organisations naturally concentrate on their own immediate needs. ESBN takes a broader view and brings together local businesses, charities, community organisations, residents, connectors and government representatives so they can exchange knowledge, share resources and create opportunities that none could create alone.
A charity facing donation fatigue may need more than another fundraising appeal—it may benefit from the marketing, technology or commercial skills of a local business. A business may discover new customers, partnerships or ways to contribute. A council or community organisation may have valuable knowledge, facilities or resources that become far more useful when connected with the right people.
ESBN creates the environment in which those connections can happen. Members get to know one another, understand what each can contribute and find practical ways to collaborate.
That is what makes ESBN different. It is not only about promoting individual members; it is about combining the strengths of the whole community so that everyone benefits.
When businesses become stronger, they can contribute more. When community organisations gain access to new skills and support, they can achieve more. And when knowledge, relationships and resources are shared, entirely new opportunities begin to emerge, and the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts.

Some Simple Facts
Around 92% of all Australian businesses are small businesses, and together they provide roughly 45% of all jobs, and well over half of all private sector jobs. They help create the wealth that supports our communities and public bodies, and Menzies saw them as part of the bedrock of our democracy and the hub of the Community "Wheel"
Without them our communities become dependent on "Big Business" and Government bodies - The first step towards Friedrich Hayek's "Road to Serfdom" - Menzies knew small businesses were taken for granted and saw them as part of his group of "Forgotten People".
Eastern Suburbs Business Network has been created to spread the word about the importance of small businesses and to help them find ways to work together to get better results and help the community - To join complete the form above or call Rose on 0493 499 264
