Starting a health business is both exciting and challenging. You’re likely full of vision and passion for your clients’ wellbeing, but the logistics can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve pulled together three essential tips to help you get started.

While these steps are crucial, there’s so much more to launching a successful business. Download our full business start-up checklist to make sure you cover all your bases!

1. Secure Your Business Name

Before you print that logo or create your Instagram handle, ensure your business name is available. This includes checking its availability with ASIC and making sure it’s not trademarked. Your name is your brand, so it’s essential to lock it in before moving forward.

Tip: Use the free tools available, like the Australian Trade Mark Search and ASIC’s business name check, to avoid potential issues down the road.

2. Choose the Right Business Structure

Your business structure – whether it’s a sole trader, company, or partnership – impacts everything from taxes to legal responsibilities. If you’re unsure which structure is right for you, consider using the government’s Help Me Decide tool or consult with an accountant for tailored advice.

Legally Healthy Tip: As your business grows, you might need to rethink your structure, so it’s always a good idea to get professional advice early.
