You completed one of the most rigorous training pathways in business — you're brilliant at what you do. But the day you decide to open your own business, a different set of questions arrives: structure, registration, insurance, privacy law, GST, pricing, getting paid and advertising rules. It isn’t a gap in your ability — no one ever taught you the business side. START closes that gap, taught in the exact order a business is actually built, with every regulatory point anchored to its primary government source.
Out of training and ready to work for yourself — wanting to open properly, not learn by costly trial and error.
Leaving a job or employer to start your own business, and wanting the structure, compliance and money set up right from day one.
Twelve modules in the exact order a business opens — each step moves you closer to your first paying client.
Every regulatory point tied to its primary source — business.gov.au, ASIC, the OAIC, the ATO and the ACCC.
Worksheets, calculators and a workbook, so you finish with your business actually set up — not just understood.
Education, not advice — it shows you exactly what to confirm with your own advisers.
A Grand Stevie Award-winning business leader, a registered nurse turned educator, and the author of 17 books. Over fifteen years she has led five of the professional associations small-business owners belong to.
One enrolment includes the full course, the workbook, the worksheet pack, the quizzes and your certificate — with lifetime access.
Australian founders and small-business owners about to open a business — newly qualified, or leaving an employer to go solo.
None. START assumes you’re starting from zero on the business side and builds from there, step by step.
No — general business education, not legal, financial, tax or professional advice. It shows you what to confirm with your own advisers.
Self-paced — most owners open over a few focused weeks, at about an hour a week.
