Startup costs are typically around $2,000 to $10,000, depending on how much stock you hold and your website and storage setup. These are estimates only, so price your own plan before committing.

Monthly revenue is typically around $1,500 to $7,500, depending on how many fires and fittings you sell. This is revenue rather than profit, and freight damage and returns on heavy items can eat into it. Estimates only.

A partner licensed gasfitter does the installation, so you don't need to hold a gas licence yourself. Check your state's rules on who can sell or arrange gas appliance installs, and that every appliance is certified for sale and use in Australia.
