About Steve & Belozi

Professional foundations

Belozi Business Consulting was established in 1996 by Steve Elkanovich. Born and raised in Minsk, the capital city of Belarus, Steve acquired a Degree in Professional Interpreting and Translation from the Interpreters’ and Translators’ Faculty of the Belarusian State University of Foreign Languages. He also completed his Degree in Economics at the Belarusian State University of National Economy and studied Linguistics at the University of New South Wales in Sydney

A focused language practice

Belozi Business Consulting, unlike the large multilingual service agencies, remains focused on its core business of providing services in Eastern Slavic languages (Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian) only. All our interpreters and translators are certified by Australian National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) at the professional level.

Professional support without agency layers

Belozi Business Consulting is in business to make your cross-cultural experience a painless one. No task is too great or small for our fully trained, professional language consultants. We cater for the needs of Government departments, large and small businesses as well as individuals. Our interpreters are eligible to work in Australian courts of all levels. Our translations are officially certified and accepted by all Australian government and private sector bodies.*

Specialist language services

Belozi Business Consulting specialises in legal, commercial, medical and general language services. We are always interested in new opportunities however unusual, so please don’t ever hesitate to get in touch with us if something appropriate comes up.
