Free gift for local business

The couple, who own a cloud-based call centre, virtual office and virtual assistant business called Greymouse, have offered their services for five weeks in every way free to the first 10 businesses who get in touch.

"Kelvin and I attended a St George bank business workshop recently and we were shocked to hear how bad some businesses are hurting on the Coast," Marisa said.

"With our St George Kawana relationship manager, we discovered that our local businesses are experiencing a downturn in retail, credit tightening and a lack of growth in the local economy. We became concerned at the implications of business closing their doors and the results of failing business confidence.

"We were wondering how we could help businesses survive the then few months, as we started to worry about the potential loss of jobs and the commercial impact."

"We are offering the Greymouse services for up to 10 Sunshine Coast businesses that register with me," she said.
