A free email newsletter from the Australian Business Startup community. Plain-English, Australia-specific tips you can actually use, starting with our free Scam Watch guide.
What you get
No fluff and no sales pitches dressed up as advice. Just useful, Australia-specific information for people with a new ABN through to owners who've been running for years.
The Scam Watch guide
A short, practical guide to the scams aimed at new Australian businesses, with a simple checklist and the official places to check and report. Sent as soon as you sign up.
Practical tips by email
Regular, short emails on the things that trip up new businesses: registrations and renewals, finding customers, working with suppliers and keeping your accounts secure.
Founders helping founders
Ideas and lessons drawn from questions asked in our Facebook community, so you can learn from people who've already been where you are.
Coming later: an optional founder panel where members share what really works, plus short step-by-step guides for common start-up tasks.
About the community
Australian Business Startup began as a Facebook group in December 2015. It's a place where Australian founders and small business owners ask real questions and get straight answers from people who've been there.
A lot of business advice online is written for the US, or is a sales pitch in disguise. This community is about Australian rules, Australian context and members helping each other.
- Practical beats hype.
- Australian rules and context matter.
- Founders help founders.
