Startup costs are typically around $1,000 to $6,000, depending on how you set up and which suppliers or printers you use. Getting written orders and deposits helps you avoid being left with custom stock you cannot sell.

Monthly revenue is typically around $800 to $6,000, depending on how many clubs, gyms and schools you supply and the size of their orders. This is revenue, not profit. Plan on at least about 8 hours a week.

Check that you register an ABN and when GST registration applies. Look at what public liability and product insurance you need. Also check supplier lead times so kit arrives before the season starts, and get written orders and deposits.
