Beany's Starter Pack

It’s a big deal to set up and run your own business, but more and more Australians are doing it. And for good reason, you can gain a lot from going out on your own – more flexibility, being your own boss, or fulfilling a lifelong dream.​

Whatever your why, it’s still not easy. No good thing is. Maybe you’re still in the idea phase, you’ve literally just started, or you’re a few months in. You’re great at what you do. One of the best. But you don’t know what you don’t know. Compliance, chart of accounts, registering your company name, structures, BAS, year-end, marketing, systems…​

You can’t escape it – there’s loads to consider. But don’t worry, Beany has got your back with our Starter Pack.​
