October is Small Business Month
Support local. Grow together. Celebrate small.
Let’s make Small Business Month 2025 the best one yet — for you, for your business, and for our community.
Proudly presented by the Micro Business Forum (MBF), Port Macquarie
​
Small businesses are the heartbeat of our local community. They bring innovation, personality, and passion to every business, every street, market stall, and online store. That’s why October is all about celebrating and supporting the small business heroes who keep our region thriving.
​
Whether you’re a long-time business owner, just starting out, or simply love supporting local, MBF invites you to join us for two exciting events designed to connect, empower, and inspire.
