Ground It
The Boring Half, Done Properly, Once.
Registration, insurance, and the line between your job and your sidebloom. It takes an afternoon, it lasts for years, and it is the difference between a business and a worry.
The One Law To Learn First.
Build your own clients. Your employer's clients stay your employer's. Post-employment restraints are enforceable in Australia so far as they are reasonably necessary, and courts recognise an employer's customer connection as a legitimate interest to protect.
A sidebloom built on your own name, your own bookings and your own referrals is yours forever and nobody can touch it. One built on the client list at work can cost you the job, the sidebloom and a great deal more. We will help you read your contract in week one, so you know exactly where your line sits.
Your ABN
Free, online, and yours in minutes. It is how you invoice, how you are paid as a business rather than as an employee, and how the rest of this becomes possible. We walk you through it and stay with you while you do it.
Insurance, In Real Numbers
- Public LiabilityFor anybody working on, near or in somebody's home or body. Liability-only cover for hair and beauty work commonly starts around $48 a month.
- Business Cover For Hair And BeautyBroader policies average in the order of $52 a month. Beside that, membership here costs less than a coffee a week.
- Massage And Allied HealthAccredited-association membership is what gives you provider status with health funds, and those associations set real minimums — commonly $2 million professional indemnity and $10 million public liability.
Figures are indicative and move with your discipline, your history and your insurer. Bring a quote to the atelier and we will read it with you.
What We Do, And What We Send You Out For.
We stay inside what we know — registration, insurance choices, pricing, photographs, listing quality, and the practical shape of the work. For tax advice, legal advice and financial advice we send you to somebody licensed to give it. Anybody who tells you otherwise is doing you harm.
You Declare It. We Display It.
Your listing carries your own declarations in your own words — I hold public liability insurance, I am registered with my association — shown as yours, because they are. SideBlooms lists you and stands beside you, and every member here is an independent operator responsible for her own registration and cover.
