If you’ve been doing a hobby for a long time and are now curious to find out what it’s like to run a small business, this is the education session for you.



Learn the essentials to creating a business from your passion project (hobby). The outcome for participants will be developing a business model canvas that captures the essential elements of their business plan, plus and perhaps most importantly a pricing structure for their services and/or products. This workshop will also cover fundamentals such as trademarks, ABN registration, financial and record keeping.

Many small businesses grow from the kitchens, home studios and sheds of their owners. Taking the step from hobby to small business can feel daunting. This hands-on workshop offers you with two vital and simple tools (business model canvas and pricing strategy) to test your passion and ability to make the step towards business ownership.

Join Craig from IPS - Business Advisory to find out more.
