  • Who Is Many Rivers?

  • Many Rivers is a free service that supports people to start, stay and thrive in business.

    We provide business coaching, business planning tools, access to legal support and small business loans.

    We are funded by government, companies and donors to help people who are financially disadvantaged, for example people who receive welfare support or those who identify as Indigenous Australians.

  • Thank you for your interest in Many Rivers.

    To ensure our Business Coaching Journey fits your needs we’d like to ask you a few questions. Please allow about 10-12 minutes to answer the following questions about:

    • Your business coaching support needs
    • The income support you currently receive
    • How far along you are in developing your Business or Business Idea
    • Your readiness to commit to a Business Coaching Journey at this time.

  • Your Business Support Needs

  • We're eager to learn more about your specific business support needs and how we can help. 

  • What specific business support do you require to meet your current needs? (You can select multiple)*

  • Thank You For Your Interest
