The South Australian Business Chamber Today

Member Profile - Small Business Commissioner

Whether your business is battling to be paid by a project manager for sub-contracting work, or you need help mediating a farm debt, the office of the South Australian Small Business Commissioner can help.

If you believe you’ve been unfairly dealt with during your commercial dealings, if you need help resolving retail tenancy disputes between businesses and landlords or other disputes, such as franchising issues, or if you have an issue with a state or local government body, John Chapman and his team are a call away.

John, who has had experience across a range of industries including media, politics and other industry bodies, including the Motor Trade Association, has a wide understanding of legislation and what his office can do to help your business.

No issue is too large or small – whether it’s ensuring a cleaning business supplies the $100 tin of product you paid for and it failed to deliver, or a $4million claim for services or equipment in an administration dispute.

The Small Business Commissioner is a long-term partner of the South Australian Business Chamber, and we work together on our Regional Voice visits across the state. Close to 25 per cent of requests for help come from regional businesses, and the office is there to help no matter where you operate.
