OVERVIEW

About this course.

What this course covers

This course provides a plain-English introduction to the commercial and regulatory foundations of a small Australian building or trade business. It covers how to think about business structures and when to get professional advice; the national set-up steps handled through the Commonwealth (Australian Business Number, business name, GST and tax); the critical point that carrying out building work requires the appropriate builder or trade licence issued by your state or territory; the insurances a building business typically carries; how to tell whether the people who work for you are employees or genuine subcontractors, and the obligations that follow; core WHS duties; and the everyday disciplines of winning work, managing clients and keeping good records.
