The Ignite® Small Business Start-ups Program is an SSI initiative established in 2013 to facilitate small business creation for people from a refugee and migrant background who want to start their own business or expand an existing one.

Ignite Head Office is based in Marrickville, however SSI has offices across Greater Sydney which are used by the Ignite and IgniteAbility team. We also have regional offices with Facilitators based in Armidale and Coffs Harbour.

• Ignite is for people from refugee backgrounds, those on bridging visas and anyone who has immigrated to Australia in the last ten years (regardless of the program location).
• Ignite Ability is for anyone living with a disability (regardless of the program location). 
• Ignite Regional is for the whole of community within Coffs Harbour and Armidale, outside the Ignite and IgniteAbility criteria (for anyone who does not have a refugee or asylum seeking background).
