The private sector is the engine room of economic growth in the Pacific Island countries. Most private sector businesses are small and medium enterprises of between five and fifty employees. Small and medium enterprises need professional business advice, technical assistance, training and mentoring to unlock their growth potential. These advisory services include financial accounting, business planning, strategy, human resources, marketing and advertising, amongst others.

Small and medium enterprises are busy running their businesses and often do not know what advisory services are available for them. They may also lack the financial means to access the services needed to help their business grow. At the same time, the services needed by small and medium enterprises are seen to be unaffordable and more targeted to large and foreign owned businesses.
