• Online selling and customer service
• Good product photos and descriptions
• Organising freight and supplier orders

• Breakage and heavy freight costs, which can wipe out your margin if not priced in
• Australian Consumer Law obligations on product descriptions, returns and refunds, so check what applies
• If you import directly, check Australian Border Force and biosecurity rules, including packaging materials
• GST registration once your turnover reaches the threshold
• Check council rules if you store stock at home

Check Australian Consumer Law obligations on product descriptions, returns and refunds. If you import directly, check Australian Border Force and biosecurity rules, including packaging materials. Also check GST registration and council rules if you store stock at home.
