Open your first grooming business
Put the legal setup, services, prices, booking questions and working day in the right order before the first diary fills.
By the end
You will have a business setup checklist, a small service menu, a price you can explain and a day the room can actually hold.
Step 01
Decide whether you are ready to open
Separate being able to groom from being ready to carry every business decision around it.
Step 02
Set up the business in Australia
Check registration, tax, council, insurance and workplace obligations with current official sources.

Set a rule the business can apply consistently and the owner can understand before booking.
