Estimates suggest startup costs are typically around $1,000 to $5,000, depending on your website, product listings and supplier setup. Because suppliers ship direct, you hold no stock, but agree clear terms with them.

Estimated monthly revenue is typically around $1,000 to $8,000, depending on how many venues you win and the size of their orders. Freight damage or supplier delays can lead to disputes.

Things to check: ABN registration and when GST applies; Australian Consumer Law on descriptions, refunds and warranties; whether stools are commercial-grade and meet relevant standards via your supplier; and product liability insurance.
