At Fortix®, we’re passionate about supporting small businesses and celebrating their impact on our communities. This year, we were proud to sponsor the Business Management Award at the 31st Belmont & Western Australian Small Business Awards, where we joined in honoring the resilience, creativity, and dedication that defines Western Australia’s small business community.
Championing Small Business Innovation
Our ongoing partnership with the Belmont Business Enterprise Centre (BEC) reflects our commitment to helping small businesses reach their full potential. At Fortix®, we design solutions to make business management faster, smarter, and simpler. As Paul Faix put it, “Our platform is designed to be fast, secure, and easy to use, empowering businesses to elevate their operations seamlessly.”
Recognizing the Vital Role of Small Businesses in Western Australia
Small businesses form the backbone of Western Australia’s economy, representing 97.2% of all businesses and contributing over $54 billion annually. Events like these highlight the crucial role these businesses play, providing a moment to recognize their hard work and achievements.
A Night of Celebration and Community
On October 30th, we joined over 430 attendees at the Perth Exhibition and Convention Centre for an inspiring evening of celebration. With powerful speeches, memorable performances, and the “Welcome to Country” by Dadajaal Daniel Garlett, it was a night dedicated to celebrating community and achievement. Special guests included government officials, consulate representatives, and business leaders, all gathered to celebrate the vibrancy of WA’s small business sector.
