Running a small business: resources in different languages

ASIC is committed to diversity and inclusivity where all people, stakeholders and communities are treated with fairness and respect.

As part of our work to meet the needs of all small businesses, ASIC's Running a Small Business in Australia – What you need to know resource is now available in English, Arabic, Simplified Chinese and Vietnamese. The booklet can also be ordered from ASIC's Moneysmart publications page.

ASIC Senior Executive Leader for Small Business Engagement and Compliance Diana Steicke said, 'ASIC is committed to meeting the needs of small business operators, regardless of culture and language. We facilitate and encourage equity, and ASIC will continue to make information accessible for all Australians.'
