Indigenous Business Australia (IBA) plays an important role in creating opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals and communities to build assets and wealth.
To achieve the whole-of-government objective in service delivery, IBA works closely with the private sector and local community groups to foster economic independence and home ownership among Indigenous Australians.
IBA offers a range of services designed to develop initiatives for long-term asset accumulation that includes:
Home ownership
Small business loans and support
Investment opportunities
IBA aims to provide Indigenous people with skills development services, and alternative funding products, so they may achieve greater independence from Government and improve their basic business management capabilities. IBA provides eligible Indigenous applicants with a range of funding products for the acquisition, establishment and/or development of commercially viable small- to medium-size enterprises that have demonstrated, or have the potential to, achieve long-term commercial viability.
