With the federal election set for May 18 and, as always, small business emerging as a ‘key battleground’, which major party stands to be the most generous to business owners?

Craig and Peter discuss the election with Bob Stanton, Past Chair and Director of the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia (COSBOA). Additionally, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday and Anzac Day fall within 7 days of each other, not to mention school holidays commencing. It’s a tough week to keep the doors open and Bob shares insights on how business owners can make the most of this unusual calendar.

Peter Switzer reveals the best small business lesson he ever learned, and how it can help your business.
