Advocacy:
Government Relations

Governments can have a major impact on your business. Connecting and engaging with government can help you understand and shape policies, and can open up new opportunities for your business.

The system of politicians, staff, departments, agencies and the public service can be confusing, but AptStart can help you navigate the minefield. We can manage your relationships and interactions with local, state and federal governments.
