Australian Business Podcast episode #5 is now live on the Rask network: Australian small business experts you want on your team.
In this episode, I — Owen Rask, founder of The Rask Group — dive into the following business topics:
- Business names, and how to get one
- ABNs versus ACNs – and which one you need
- The difference between copyright and trademark in Australia
- Bookkeepers – and how much bookkeepers charge
- Accountants – what they do and how much accountants charge
- Lawyers – do I need a lawyer for my small business?
- Technology professionals and why I’d avoid building a custom website
- How to save on business design costs with Canva & freelancer/Fiverr
Before you do anything, make sure your business’ web domain is available by searching for it on crazydomains.com.au. Even if you don’t want a website right now you may as well pay the $15 or $30 to secure the web address.
This episode of The Australian Business Podcast aligns perfectly with lesson five of Rask’s free business course: small business experts.
You can download our business plan template on Rask Education.
Please note: if you’re confused about business ‘structures’, like companies, trusts, “sole trader”, etc. that’ll be covered in episode 7 of The Australian Business Podcast — but it’s available right now in our free business course.
