Gosnells Armadale Business Development Organisation Inc (GABDO) was incorporated in May 2002, and was formed with the purpose of assisting and developing small business across the local region. In December 2009, GABDO undertook a name change to become the Small Business Centre South East Metro (SBC SEM) Inc. A name chosen to better reflect the region it serves. To date, this has been achieved through:

		The delivery of the State Government funded small business program (SBC South East Metro), under direction of the Small Business Development Corporation (SBDC)
		Delivery of a range of training and development programs, and
		Through the formation of strategic alliances and working partnerships with various organisations.

In November 2004, SBC South East Metro relocated their office to the landmark Agonis Building in the Gosnells town centre and took on the role of managing the Business Development Centre. The purpose of SBC South East Metro was extended and now offers the opportunity of locating eligible small businesses within the supportive and flexible business development environment.

SBC South East Metro exists to service the small business sector across the south east metropolitan area. Major sponsors include the Small Business Development Corporation, the City of Gosnells, the City of Armadale and the City of Canning.

The Centre is directed by a Board of Management composed of individuals who volunteer their time and efforts to improving small business across the community. The Board oversees the strategic direction of the Centre and ensures compliance with the Associations Act.
