Mobile workwear supplier for worksites

Small builders, contractors, workshops, farms and businesses that want staff kitted out without a trip to a store.

• Sales and relationship building
• Knowing which gear suits which trade
• Organising stock and routes

• Check which Australian Standards apply to the products you sell and that your supplier can show compliance
• Public liability insurance, and check whether you need product liability cover
• Stock tied up in sizes that do not sell, so start with a small range
• Check your insurance and registration needs for the vehicle you use for business
• Register for an ABN, and check when you need to register for GST

Startup costs are estimates, typically around $3,000 to $15,000, depending on the range of stock you carry and how you set up your vehicle. Starting with a small range can help limit costs.

Monthly revenue is an estimate, typically around $1,500 to $8,000, depending on how many sites you visit and what workers buy. The estimate assumes at least about 15 hours a week.

Check which Australian Standards apply to your products and that your supplier can show compliance. Also check public liability and product liability insurance, insurance and registration for your vehicle, and ABN and GST registration.
