Small businesses are at the heart of the Ipswich economy and account for a large majority of registered businesses in the region. There are approximately 10,000 businesses that are registered in Ipswich, and a massive 6,000 of these are sole operators (micro-businesses), with many more classified as small businesses (less than 20 staff).
In October 2020 Ipswich City Council became the first council in Queensland to sign on as a Small Business Friendly Council.
The signing of the Small Business Friendly Council charter reinforces the commitment of council to supporting your Ipswich small business. Click to see the most commonly asked questions
