WA Business News Australia epaper is an independently owned weekly business newspaper established in 1993 and based in Perth, Western Australia, with a total circulation of 11,110.
The newspaper was founded by Harry Kleyn and his business partners Vanguard Press as a fortnightly free circulation newspaper in Perth. In 2000, after finding new investors, the paper developed a digital edition and changed to weekly circulation. The Editorial Department was also expanded. WA Business News moved to a subscription model between 2000 and 2004.
The newspaper publishes the Book of Lists, an annual business listing for Western Australia, two free Daily Business Alert emails delivered at 7.00am and 4.00pm, as well as organising a number of events such as 40under40, an awards programme for young business achievers and Rising Stars, a programme for Western Australia’s fastest-growing, private companies.
WA Business News also hosts the Success and Leadership Breakfast Series throughout the year, featuring highly regarded Western Australian business leaders, speaking about their own professional and personal journey of success.
