Business Foundations is a focused, high-impact course designed to give you the clarity, confidence, and momentum you need to set up your business properly in Australia and get ready to trade.

This isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s about building a strong, compliant foundation. You’ll choose the right business structure, register your ABN and business name, understand your tax and GST obligations, and put simple money systems and protections (like banking, bookkeeping, and insurance) in place.

Inside Business Basics, you’ll follow a clear, step-by-step process to organise your setup tasks, prioritise what matters most right now, and create an actionable plan you can actually follow—without the overwhelm, jargon, or guesswork.

It’s your next step toward building a business that’s legally sound, financially organised, and ready to grow.

Module one helps you set up your business the right way from the start. You’ll get clear on what you’re building, then choose the structure that best fits your stage, risk level, and goals. From there, we’ll walk through your core registrations and key setup decisions so your business is properly recognised, protected, and ready to grow.

Learned Skills:

• Choose the right structure for your stage, risk level, and goals.

• Complete core registrations (ABN, business name, TFN, GST) with confidence

• Make strategic setup decisions that support future growth and funding.
