Australian Business Podcast episode #5 is now live on the Rask network: Australian small business experts you want on your team.

In this episode, I -- Owen Rask, founder of The Rask Group -- dive into the following business topics:

1. Business names, and how to get one


2. ABNs versus ACNs - and which one you need


3. The difference between copyright and trademark in Australia


4. Bookkeepers - and how much bookkeepers charge


5. Accountants - what they do and how much accountants charge


6. Lawyers - do I need a lawyer for my small business?


7. Technology professionals and why I'd avoid building a custom website


8. How to save on business design costs with Canva & freelancer/Fiverr

 Before you do anything, make sure your business’ web domain is available by searching for it on crazydomains.com.au. Even if you don’t want a website right now you may as well pay the $15 or $30 to secure the web address.

This episode of The Australian Business Podcast aligns perfectly with lesson five of Rask's free business course: small business experts.

You can download our business plan template on Rask Education.

Please note: if you're confused about business 'structures', like companies, trusts, "sole trader", etc. that'll be covered in episode 7 of The Australian Business Podcast -- but it's available right now in our free business course.
