Business name: if you incorporate your own name- no business name required. eg
Bill Smith mechanical services = no bus name required
Smithy's mechanical Servcies = bus name registration required

Good point again Tweety. As for doing a course, I did a free ATO 1 day seminar some years ago and found it very informative, was free and straight from the horses mouth so to speak.

Thanks Matberry.
There is an obvious key to any business.
In Yea Victoria in 1992 after I left Telstra I told my wife I was going to start up a lawn mowing round in my town of 1100 people. We decided to do a survey.
Of the hundreds of houses there not one resident said they would definately employ my services. Some said "maybe".
Upon my returning home and telling my then wife, she said "well that's the end of that then". "No way" was my reply. I figured that with no one doing lawns in the town or handyman services there had to be a market- if I was positive enough.
I printed flyers to letterbox them and talked more to residents. Soon I got odd jobs, cleaning gutters and fixing leaking taps. It subsidised the dole at the time. It fed my kids.
Soon I had enough work to purchase a new ride on mower and whipper snipper. Placed a sign on the back of my trailer.
Two weeks before xmas a cop booked me for not having my trailer registered. In Victoria if running a business you have to register your trailer. Clealry with the sign on the back I was guilty. And some wonder why they are hated. A battler trying to feed his small family. A warning would have sufficed.
Anyway the point is - positivity, never say die. Eventually in 1999 I started another business. I decided to do better work than my competitors, be reliable and quicker turn around, return your calls, etc. I did this and was never out of work for 13 years while my opposition struggled.
My business- private investigations. I retired 3 weeks ago, forced to, on medical grounds. At 57 I still have some fire in my belly left but sadly not my health. I'd love to lecture in positive thinking. Its amazing what you can achieve when you get your small business by the throat and run with it. Never give up, chip away at building it up and have short, medium and long range plans. Such plans to include an annual interstate trip with your wife....to check out the materials they sell in Surfers Paradise.....😎 All expenses tax deductable of course....Otherwise Tony Abbot gets it. You have to maximise your deductions and appreciate the benefits of running a small business but not overload it. Get a new car by all means if you are making the money but be careful not to go crazy with the ability to sign the dotted line. Its all balance.
Good luck. Signing out this time lol

It's all been very informative tweety! Thanks mate.
If you can stay as a "hobby" for as long as you can that is a great lurk, However you can not claim any expenses from the business, All good when you have other income but no good when its just your misses paying the bills. Remember the ATO can Attribute earnings to You if they deem that is a REAL business. It is best if you register an ABN then wait till you build your buisiness above the 75G GST limit then register for gst. Keep all receipts, Get the TTE news letter, Claim what you can, CHARGE HEAPS!

silly people always ask is there a better price for cash, then pull out the cash card 🤪
just collect GST from day dot, because you are going to be running a successful business .
your suppose to sit down and work out all the cost to get your shop open and just work out the money that you need to bring in each week, without making any profit just to pay the bills to open the doors on your shop .
eg some shed/shops rent start at $ 20000 A YEAR so you need $384 a week just for the rent .
eg
rent, water, electric, insurance, licences, stock, etc

car forums. where a lot of peoples good intentions end up taking a good old car off the road forever never ever to see the road again. 🥲
another thing worth looking at is the NEIS program. Its basically a business course that also give you a sort of dole equivalent but you are allowed to make money with your new business and they don't take or reduce the pay so it makes it a lot easier to get started. If you have an existing hobby business you are still eligible for the program and pay.
I did this, although my business didn't go well as the financial crisis hit just when I started and all of the sudden customer stopped spending lol.
