Strengthen your small business

Essentials to strengthen your small business is a new online learning tool to improve your business knowledge.

Published 15 February 2024

We want to support small businesses to grow, be sustainable, and know how to handle tax and super basics. That’s why we've launched Essentials to strengthen your small businessExternal Link.

Essentials to strengthen your small business is a flexible and free online learning resource for small businesses, educators and tax professionals to share and use with their staff, students and clients.

The platform has courses specifically designed for small business needs, which cover topics and mistakes we see small businesses make to improve your business knowledge.

Course information is targeted, regularly updated, and interactive.

Create a learning pathway that is right for your business depending on lifecycle stage, structure and industry. Choose what you want to learn and do it at your own pace.

There are 21 courses covering:

  • business lifecycle stages – idea, start-up, day-to-day, change and exit
  • reporting obligations – for example, if you have employees or need to report GST or fringe benefits tax
  • learning needs – find out about good record keeping, improving cash flow or growing your business
  • other circumstances – for example, help setting up a business, checking if your business is viable or you need to close.

We'll continue to add new courses in the future, so tell us what you want to learn about. If there’s enough interest, we’ll develop it.
