The co-founder of one of Australia's newest Aboriginal business support services has hailed events recently held across Tasmania a raging success.

The Palawa Business Hub (The Hub), a newly-established support service for Indigenous-owned business based in Tasmania, held its first Aboriginal business showcase in Hobart earlier this month, followed by Aboriginal business meet and greets in the north and north-west of the state.

Timed to coincide with the commencement of Indigenous Business Month, Marrawah Law principal solicitor and The Hub's co-founder, Leah Brown, said she was encouraged by the diversity of businesses which exhibited their products and services across the three events.

"It was just such a wonderful surprise to see so many different Indigenous businesses in the community, and there's so many more out there," Ms Brown told National Indigenous Times.

"We had really young members of the community to Elders there, and they were brilliantly showcasing their businesses.

"And to put them forward, it was just so inspiring."

The events were well attended by members of the Aboriginal community, government buyers, general businesses and the wider community, with hundreds attending events at Hobart's Waterfront Pavilion, Launceston's Aboriginal Elders Centre and the University of Tasmania's Burnie Campus.

Ms Brown said from her perspective, business owners were reassured by collectively exhibiting in a comfortable environment at The Hub's events.

"What I took away (from) it was that they felt being able to showcase their businesses together gave them real strength and confidence in pitching about their businesses," she said.

Established earlier this year, The Hub already has close to 50 majority Indigenous-owned, Tasmanian-based businesses listed on its directory representing a broad range of arts, food and service industries.

Ms Brown said to support the diverse range of Aboriginal-owned businesses in Tasmania, The Hub's approach differs from interstate models such as the Northern Territory Indigenous Business Network and Victoria's Kinaway Chamber of Commerce.

"We're a little bit behind the eight ball (in Tasmania) in some respects, in that we don't have an Indigenous procurement policy in the state, so that's a significant disadvantage that our businesses have to work through," Ms Brown said.

"But I think as well, Tassie likes to do differently. We're very much grassroots, community-led with everything we want to do, and it has to be that way for it to be a success.

"So our business Hub's a little bit different in that many of the others are a partnership with state and territory governments, whereas ours is community-led.

"We're small but we're mighty. And we might be going a little bit slower, but we've definitely got the community support behind us."

Modestly naming herself a joint "activator" of The Hub alongside Sara Maynard, Ms Brown said the pair felt the time was right to establish the Aboriginal business support service after "chat in the community for a long time at all different levels".

"There's lots of opportunities coming up for our businesses in terms of procurement for big projects like the stadium… and I was really conscious that I didn't want our businesses to miss out." Ms Brown said.

"And I also wanted to make sure they had full knowledge around issues like black cladding.

"So for me it was like 'we need to do something now urgently', and just having yarns with the community going 'right if we don't do it now, it's never going to happen', and launch into it."

Ms Brown said moving forward, The Hub's aim is to help increase the capability of existing Aboriginal-owned businesses in the state whilst also supporting startup ventures.

"Over time we do want it to be a fully fledged standalone entity with a chamber, but at the moment it's just providing those urgent needs that our businesses have across the state," she said.

"We've been forming partnerships with the University of Tasmania (and) Relationships Australia around counselling for our businesses if they need to access it, and other support tools.

"And for those that want to start up, I think it's been key to have those introductions around what existing support services are out there, whether it's Indigenous Business, Australia, Supply Nation, Many Rivers, Austrade.

Ms Brown said support can often include connecting businesses to services which aren't readily available in Tasmania.

"There's a big piece around that business network that businesses on the mainland are really good at, (they're) easy to connect with, but we've got to establish that network ourselves," she said.

Tasmanian-based, majority Aboriginal-owned businesses interesting in listing with the Palawa Business Hub can express their interest online.
