Building business foundations
Starting your own venture in 2025 means understanding structures that protect you. We've worked with Perth founders to Melbourne startups, and the pattern's always the same—proper formation from day one saves headaches later.
See What You'll Learn
Reuben Osgood walked into our Bunbury office asking why his solo venture needed an ABN versus a company structure. That conversation turned into our first workshop series explaining entity types to regional business owners.
COVID pushed everything online anyway. We filmed 40 hours of content covering Pty Ltd structures, trust configurations, and partnership agreements. Turns out people in Alice Springs needed this stuff just as much as folks in Sydney.
Theory's great but people wanted to fill out actual ASIC forms with guidance. We built eight-week sessions where participants work through their real formation documents alongside instructors who've processed hundreds of these.
Next cohort starts October 2025. We're rolling out focused programs for tech founders, family businesses, and service providers—each with industry-specific compliance requirements and structure recommendations.
Some people want weekend intensives. Others need six months of evening sessions. We've built programs that adapt to how you actually absorb information about business structures.
Video lessons you can pause mid-explanation. Download templates and checklists. Work through scenarios at 2am if that's when your brain functions.
Twelve weeks of Tuesday evenings starting March 2026. Ask questions about your specific situation. Compare notes with other founders navigating similar decisions.
Two full weekends covering everything from initial registration to annual compliance. Hands-on document preparation with immediate feedback from instructors.
Formation needs depend on whether you're solo, have partners, need investment, or want family succession planning. Let's narrow down what actually matters for your scenario.
You're building something on your own and need protection between personal assets and business risk. We cover sole trader versus Pty Ltd comparisons, tax implications, and when complexity actually helps.
