For decades, 80% of small businesses have been closing their doors within 5 years. At Internet Health Support (IHS) we believe that it is unacceptable that that percentage has not been reduced, or at least publicly or effectively addressed en masse.
With the technology available today, there should be at least an attempt to address these statistics. Add to that, that 80% of Australians are employed by small to medium businesses, we believe that it is no longer acceptable to allow those statistics to not be addressed in a directly targeted and effective way.
Most small business owners are small business owners because they are passionate about making a difference in their area of expertise and have a desire to make the world a better or more enjoyable place. They usually invest a lot of time, emotion, expertise and resources into their business. In many instances, family and friends become involved too, whether it is directly or indirectly.
So, when a small business closes its doors for the last time, it can be a very difficult, stressful and sad time. This is not just for business owners themselves but also for family members, friends, employees and suppliers. There can also be stressful and negative mental and physical health impacts on many of those directly and indirectly involved.
IHS is offering you an opportunity with the Founding Start Up Sponsor levels to assist in the development of the system and services to provide the support needed. The second stage of sponsorship opportunities will be Start up Sponsors and the third and final stage will be more along the lines of traditional Sponsor opportunities.
Sponsorship opportunities are an authentic way that you can contribute to positively impacting millions of Australians daily – by supporting small businesses to survive and thrive.
All sponsors enter a powerful and impactful Win – Win – Win relationship with IHS.
If this ‘why’ aligns with your values and goals, then this win-win-win opportunity could be for you.
Win – your ability to give back to your community and contribute to small businesses
Win – The small businesses that are supported.
Win – Australians as we continue to have fewer small businesses closing their doors within 5 years.
Internet Health Support is here to publicly take and make a stand to reduce the percentage of small businesses closing their doors within their first five years of trading. Since 2012 we have been researching, testing, measuring and achieving great results. We have achieved this by developing processes that support many of the needs of small businesses and by providing low cost and affordable services.
This is just the beginning as more people, larger businesses and philanthropists decide to also support small businesses how, where and when they need it.
Our next stage of support is to link them to other experienced service providers who are also passionate about supporting small businesses. Services are provided in various ways including free initial consultations, mentoring, traditional charged services, pro bono services and discounted (by price not quality) services.
Small businesses will be able to search for what they need. They are also able to find out what they need through the exhaustive checklists and best practice resources provided by our trusted providers.
We are doing this by offering sponsorship opportunities and public recognition of all who contribute, particularly early adopters whose passion outweighs anything else.
As a Founding Start Up Sponsor, you will retain your listing position in the order that the sponsorship was made and for as long as your sponsorship is active.
For example, the first sponsor in each level will always be listed first as long as the sponsorship continues. If sponsorship does not continue, second place will become the first listed.
*Sponsorship names/positions can not be transferred. Properly evidenced Business name changes are acceptable.
On the Small Business Support website, there will be a sponsor page. All sponsors who elect to do so will have a link to their website if required. Non-business sponsors have the option to have an information page listed. Anonymous sponsorship is also possible.
Once you have paid, you will receive a letter confirming your sponsorship level and the sponsorship position you have secured.
The initial opportunity for early adopters will be for Founding Start Up Sponsors. This level of recognition will not be repeated and is only for limited numbers.
Once the Founding Start Up Sponsor positions are no longer listed to purchase, it means all Founding Start Up sponsor positions have been taken. Stage two will be for Start Up Sponsors and Stage three will be for Sponsors.
At each level (ie Major, Gold, Silver and Bronze), Founding Start Up Sponsors will always be listed first and highlighted, Start Up Sponsors will be listed next and then Sponsors will be listed.
Founding Start Up Major Sponsors will always be most prominently placed in all marketing and promotional material, in addition to the usual sponsor listings.
Like all sponsors, Major Sponsors are listed in the order that initial payment is made and continues whilst sponsorship continues.
