Hi Jamie, thank you for the video. I have a question: How does tax work for a small service-based partnership? Which taxes do I need to be aware of? And which are paid individually as opposed to through the business? Thanks!
Mate I think you deserve a billion Subscribers 👏. So informative ! Keep up the good work mate
Love it. Simple, effective and to the point! Good stuff
Thank you. This is excellent
I’m wanting to setup my online business selling meals plans. Will I need insurance or a disclaimer for this, even though they won’t be customised plans?
Thanks for the video. So to start a small business as a sole trader i need a new TFN and ABN ? You also mentioned to go into your meetings with your accountants with a game plan incase something goes wrong, are you suggesting to seek advice for multiple accountants and then make a final decision ? Thanks.
Thankyou for the information brother.. great video!
Good info mate. Have subscribed. Starting an import & distribution of food products. What kind of permits & certifications are required? Am in Vic.

Hey Harpeet, Ebay/ETSY is just a marketing channel, the fundamentals of business do not change. If you are bringing in some income I would advise having some sort of ABN and being either a sole trader or some sort of company. I cannot give legal advice though and chat to your accountant.
Thanks so much for this awesome video!!! I have a question... Do I need to get an ABN and register my business before I start purchasing products for my business (to claim back tax) or can I do this later? Really appreciate your help.

Hey Stacey, My best advice is to pair up with a good accountant if you are planning to get into business. Legally I am not 100% sure of the answer. All I can tell you though is making the wrong move may cost you a lot more money down the track. So if the business is something you are serious about committing, speak to an accountant.

Hi Jamie, Thanks for the start up tips :). I'm rather handy with Excell, and was wondering if it's possible as a sole trader to keep my books and account transactions on Excell, provided you link the data and have easy lookup features, and data base important info?

Hey, you would need to check with your accountant who would be doing your end of year books, most will work ok with a spreadsheet. As you start to have a larger amount of transactions or start doing stuff like GST/BAS, it is worth going to an accounting package like Xero. This is the process we went through 13 years ago. Setting it up right at the start particularly if it is a legitimate growing business is mega important.

Can the Sole Trader import and export, if yes does he need extra licenses or registration ?

Hey Usama, it really depends on how much revenue you think you will earn and what you want to do with the profits. I legally am not qualified to guide you on what structure is best. That is an accountants job and I prefer speaking an accountant due to the liability involved. Personally though I always prefer running through a registered company.
Hi Jamie! I would like to start a software business, It will demand to install some equipment in pubs/breweries to gather information and then a web platform for our clients to check their business, and we want it to scale. What type of business do you reckon best suits us?

Hey Javi, it just depends on your goals outside of the business and how large you think you can make this. A sole trader is low cost to get started but does not give you as much protection. Other structures will protect you better but it is a higher outlay. If you are serious about this it might be worth sitting with your accountant and going through it with them.

Hey Danny, I am not sure if you are talking about setting up or continuously yearly. For setup, I would ensure you are going through an accountant as things change yearly. With public, I am not sure if you are talking a company on the stock exchange? With a private PTY LTD you need to sign some forms and pay some fee's which are around a few hundred dollars annually to keep your registration going. It is best to seek advice from an accountant and anything I am giving is not legal advice.
