Enterprise Development is recognised as a major priority objective by communities, reinforced through the Murdi Paaki Regional Assembly (peak Indigenous representative body), and included in the Murdi Paaki Regional Strategic Plan . To meet this objective, the MPREC Business Unit provides a range of business Services, including feasibility / viability study process, business planning, enterprie development facilitation and monitoring services.
Typically, a community (or individual) contacts the MPREC Business Unit requesting assistance with the development of business concepts. Through meetings and workshops, the ideas are distilled and prioritised into achievable, realistic and sustainable enterprise concepts. An application is made for supporting funding on behalf of the applicant.
The outcome, (if the investigation phase demonstrates that the proposed enterprise is achievable and viable) is a Business Plan. MPREC then engages its other resources to assist with raising capital, and puts in place necessary accredited training programs (e.g. business administration, relevant skills development) to support the enterprise. The applicant is then actively assisted in every manner possible to progress the project to start-up and beyond.
