The survey is open to business owners across Australia.

Entry into the prize draw is restricted to NSW residents aged 18 years or over who own or co-own a small to medium business with its principal place of business in NSW and are authorised to participate on its behalf.

Complete the 2nd Story Business Survey at https://2ndstory.com.au/business-pressures-survey during the promotion period and complete the optional prize draw entry section.

Entrants must provide their name, business name, valid email address, residential state or territory, and the state or territory of their business’s principal place of business.

Entry is free. No purchase, consultation booking, social media follow or marketing subscription is required.

One entry is permitted per business. Duplicate, fraudulent or automated entries will be excluded. Survey answers do not affect an entrant’s chance of winning. Each valid entry has an equal chance of selection.

The promoter may request reasonable evidence of eligibility before awarding a prize.

Two different eligible businesses will each receive one prize: their choice of either:

• 2nd Story Business Health Check: A three-hour online strategy session focused on business priorities, with a written report and practical action plan for 2027, valued at AUD $2,000 including GST where applicable; or
• 2nd Story Marketing Review: A three-hour online strategy session focused on marketing priorities, with a written report and practical action plan for 2027, valued at AUD $2,000 including GST where applicable.

The three hours cover the strategy session. Preparation of the written report and action plan is included separately.

The total prize pool is AUD $4,000 including GST where applicable.

Each strategy session must be completed by 31 January 2027, at a mutually agreed time. The written report and action plan will be supplied within 10 calendar days of the session.

No payment or purchase of further services is required to receive or use a prize.

Two winners will be selected at random from a numbered list of all valid entries using RANDOM.ORG.

The draw will take place at 12:00 pm AEDT on 24 November 2026 at Crows Nest, Sydney NSW 2065 Australia.

The draw will be conducted without replacement. Once a business has been selected, its entry will be excluded from further selection. If a duplicate number is generated, it will be disregarded and another number drawn until two different winning businesses have been selected.

If fewer than two valid entries are received, a prize will be awarded to each valid entrant and any remaining prize will not be awarded.

Winners will be contacted by email within two business days of the draw. The promoter will make reasonable efforts to contact each winner.

Winning business names will be published on https://2ndstory.com.au/survey-results on 25 November 2026 and remain available for at least 28 days.

By entering, entrants agree to publication of their business name if selected as a winner. Personal contact details and individual survey responses will not be published.

Winners must claim their prize by replying to the promoter’s notification email by 11:59 pm AEDT on 4 December 2026 and confirming their eligibility and preferred prize option.

Subject to applicable law, any prize that remains unclaimed, is declined, or cannot be awarded because the selected entrant is ineligible will be allocated through a redraw.

Any required redraw will take place at 12:00 pm AEDT on 9 December 2026 at the address specified in Section 6, using the same random selection method. Previous winners and ineligible entries will be excluded.

Replacement winners will be contacted by email within two business days of the redraw. Their business names will be published on https://2ndstory.com.au/survey-results on 10 December 2026 and remain available for at least 28 days.

Replacement winners must claim their prize by 11:59 pm AEDT on 18 December 2026. If a prize remains unclaimed after that date, the promoter will deal with it in accordance with applicable law.

Prizes are not transferable, exchangeable or redeemable for cash.

Each prize includes only the services described in Section 5. Implementation, ongoing consulting, advertising expenditure, software subscriptions and other third-party costs are excluded.

Any additional services are entirely optional and would require a separate agreement.

The promoter does not guarantee particular business, financial or marketing results from the consulting services.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits rights or remedies available under the Australian Consumer Law.

Contact details collected in the prize draw entry section will be used to administer the promotion, verify eligibility, contact winners and deliver prizes. They may also be disclosed where required by law.

Survey responses will be used to understand business needs and inform 2nd Story Consulting’s services and research. Any published survey findings will be presented in aggregated, anonymous form.

Marketing communications will only be sent where the participant has separately opted in. Marketing consent is optional and does not affect eligibility or the chance of winning.

Further information about the handling of personal information, including access, correction and privacy enquiries, is available at https://2ndstory.com.au/privacy-policy.

By entering the prize draw, entrants agree to these Terms & Conditions.
