Default pathway accordion (guide pattern)
Decide on a business structure
The main structures are sole trader, partnership, company or trust. Choosing a structure for your business affects your tax, paperwork and finances. Consider getting expert advice to help you.
Are you an employee or contractor?
If you're working on your own you'll need to know your worker status. Find out if you're an independent contractor or an employee before entering into a contract.
Choose your business location
Each business has different needs for storage, equipment, or just being close to the right customers. Consider what’s important for your business before you decide where you’ll be based.
Learn how to choose a business name
There may be more to choosing a business name than you think. Consider whether the name is unique, available to use or exists as a protected trade mark before you decide.
Develop your business plan
Planning out your business gives you direction and keeps your business on track. You'll also need a business plan if you seek finance.
Create your risk management plan
Having a good risk management plan in place will help guide the business decisions you make and reduce the impact of unexpected events on your business.
Write your marketing plan
Need to tell everyone about your new business? A marketing plan can help you find and reach your customers and work out what makes your business different.
