Self employment opportunities
- Written by News Company
Looking for work? Got some mate's to help? You could try these ideas to create your own job.
If you have some spare time, you can make some money as a small business.
The first thing to do is to get an ABN or Australian Business Number. That will enable you to register a Business Name and to obtain some tax concessions for purchases or the hire of equipment to assist with the business that you start.
There will always be people looking to get small jobs done around their home or business. They often advertise their task in the local paper or on Gumtree. If you can't find a job to do, then create some flyers to drop into letter boxes in your neighbourhood or to hand deliver to local businesses.
One of the success stories of Australia is the Jim's group of franchises. There are people doing everything from lawn mowing to cleaning to erecting and maintaining television antennas.
You could start your own business. You will need transport. Perhaps an old ute if that is what you can afford for a start. With that you can both get to jobs and cart away garden waste or even move items for people. Countless major transport businesses started off with one person and one vehicle.
To find work for the ute, you can ring around or even drive around to local business places or factories to meet people and to announce that you are available. You may get some knockbacks but it might lead to your big break.
To step up your new start up business, you could move into the cleaning game. There are lots of things that need cleaning. Think building walls and concrete or tile surfaces that gather grime and dust! They do need cleaning. You could go online to look for a cleaning machine, like a Gerni at Capital Equipment Hire.There you can see the rates to hire a cleaner for a specific job and then, when your business thrives, you can look at buying your own cleaning machine.
The core message is that starting off in a transport or cleaning business can be as a very small one or two person operation. Doing jobs leads to making contacts and new work opportunities. You never know where getting out and having a go will take you. It is fine to start small with equipment hired for each job and then to grow in small steps.
Be sure to get professional accounting advice so that you choose your business structure in a way that maximises the tax concessions on offer for start up business operators.
