Webtraining™ ( http://www.webtraining.com.au/ )
Renton Currie, founding director of 'Web Training' recognised that small start up businesses were lacking many resources to establish viable business plans but more specifically in the electronic finance modelling area. Once established, ongoing skills development and support was equally hard to access, distant and often expensive.
Rentons business goal is to help existing business owners and those people associated with running small business in Australia to learn new and improved skills that will better assist them with the running, growth and profitability of their ventures. New start-up businesses will equally find this site extremely useful as it is full of great information.
