Small business owners in and around Cowra can hop on board the bus where they will receive independent advice from experienced business advisors.
Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke said that in the last financial year the Business Bus visited more than 140 communities across the state.
"The Business Bus provides small businesses with access to independent, experienced advisors, plus specialists in the digital and creative sector," Ms Cooke said.
"Speaking to an advisor can help a business operator take the vital next step, whether they're just starting out, wanting to ensure their business is sustainable or aiming to go global.
"My decade in floristry taught me good advice is absolutely priceless in small business. I strongly encourage local businesses looking for an edge to make the most of this great resource."
NSW Deputy Premier, Minister for Small Business and Minister for Regional NSW, John Barilaro, said the bus's experts would share advice on small business strategies including marketing and financial advice and business planning.

"There are 736,000 small businesses across NSW - and they're the lifeblood of our State's, regional and local economies," Mr Barilaro said.
