Getting connected

To get started you will need:

• a computer
• software that enables you to send emails, browse the web and protect your computer’s safety
• an email and website account set up
• training in using your new computer and software.

You may also wish to purchase a domain name, which gives your online business a unique electronic address. You can read more about domain name registration in our Registration & licences topic.

The Federal Government’s e-businessguide provides a wide range of information and resources about getting your business online, including what you need to know when starting out. Most state and territory governments also have useful guides on how to begin your online business.
