Shannon Smit, the dynamic founder of Smart Business Solutions, exemplifies the spirit of International Women’s Day through her unwavering commitment to empowering small businesses.
In 2007, Shannon established her firm in Mornington, aiming to provide local entrepreneurs with access to global expertise without the need to venture into the city. Since then, she has leveraged her extensive international experience to nurture and strengthen small businesses, helping them evolve into robust and sustainable enterprises. Her recent appointment to the ATO’s Small Business Stewardship Group for 2024-25 underscores her dedication.
Beyond her professional endeavours, Shannon is deeply committed to the local community, regularly contributing her time and knowledge, and organising fundraisers for non-profit organisations.
Shannon’s journey demonstrates the power of perseverance, innovation and community spirit. She not only breaks barriers but also paves the way for the next generation of women in business, showing that success is possible with vision and determination.
