Loan launches Yeppoon artist

Relatively new to the commercial art industry, up-and-coming Yeppoon artist Jet James is showing that when the business and creative worlds collide, the results can be life-changing.

“I moved to Queensland to be closer to family and study art. I enrolled in a Diploma of Visual Arts, completed the 12 week New Enterprise Incentive Scheme (NEIS) and just over a year ago I went out on my own,” Jet said.

“I needed financial support but didn’t know what options were out there for young entrepreneurs like me. While researching business finance I came across NAB’s Microenterprise Loans and recruited the help of my NEIS mentor.

“I used the loan to establish my studio at home, which acts as a base to store materials so I can maintain a steady volume of work and manage my cash flow.”
