Four local small businesses have been selected as finalists of the 2024 Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards.

The four finalists are: Miss Zoe’s School of Dance (performing arts), Miss Arda (restaurant), The Collective Beat (specialised retail small business), and Soul Fit Co (fitness services).

The awards, which drew thousands of entries, celebrate women in small businesses all across the country from capital cities to rural towns. It’s the only national awards program of its kind, created specifically to highlight the rising economic, cultural and social contributions of female-led small businesses.

The awards program features more than 60 categories across retail, services and manufacturing industries as well as individual categories for the year’s most inspiring female small business leaders.

Winners of the 2024 Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards will be announced on Saturday, 24 August in Sydney at a gala event.

The Bugle congratulates all our local finalists.
