Indigenous Business Builders was established out of a need to create stronger and sustainable Indigenous businesses and economies.

We are unique in the fact that we dont call ourselves business consultants. We are in fact Aboriginal business owners who are sharing our knowledge and experiences with the rest of Australia.
