Ready To Rebound – Session 6: Business Migration

 Friday, September 18th, 2pm (AEST)

Through Visa Subclass 132, Australia has the ability to attract high net worth entrepreneurs and business people to invest in SME businesses. On this webinar we’ll look at the opportunities created by Immigration SA’s business migration program, how SME’s can prepare and develop their trade or investment pitch, how to close and document deals, and how identify opportunities to connect with business migrants.
