About the Project

Business IT Up
"Business with a Conscience"

Many small businesses fail within their first year due to the lack of time, resources and management skills. How can we help these businesses?

At Business It Up, we work with small businesses to help grow their operations, focusing on improving the business structure and ensuring long-term sustainability and profitability.

We work with business owners to create websites and e-commerce portals, re-brand products and provide business solutions for future growth. In addition, these businesses also contribute to our Business For Life Foundation, which aims to assist entrepreneurs in disadvantaged communities.

Business It Up gives you the opportunity to work directly with real clients and apply class room knowledge to solve real life problems. If you believe in business with a conscience, Business It Up is the right initiative for you.

Updates for Business IT Up

Business IT Up Recent Achievements (2011)

posted on 11 Jul 2011 by admin

SIFE UNSW assisted a number of businesses such as: Tania’s Chocolate Pizza, a one-woman operation that makes, sells, and delivers chocolate pizzas; Tribal Tea, a tea business that sells a range of healthy tea blends; and The Other Shop, a boutique online fashion store that retails specialized designer clothing.

Business IT Up members were successful in raising a greater awareness of their clients’ small businesses through the Internet. Their e-commerce stores, both modified and developed from scratch, received over 53,600 hits. This led to an average increase in client revenue for the three businesses by 27% over 6 months. The team also created and updated Facebook pages for each business to increase brand awareness – the number of active users of pre-existing client pages increased by over 60%.

Market evaluation reports were also thoroughly developed for all three businesses. These reports examined the competitive environment these businesses operated in and suggested possible changes to their business models and operations.
