Put your head down and go for it, keep your day job and use your personal contacts and social media to start the ball rolling.

Sole prop 'Biggs' trading as 'Big Fish' to start, if it takes off you can then do the registration thing (Big Fish Pty Ltd) and register for VAT if you have to but don't incur the unnecessary expenses to start, shoe string to test the water and do the research, find out what other aquarium owners are looking for and fill the demand.

The only reason to form a Co when you start is to put a layer between your private life and the business if you intend incurring debt but most suppliers and finance houses require personal liability anyway so it don't help much.

Of course you can go big but you will also probably go bust without the necessary research.

They say the butterflies in the stomach when you start the business is addictive!
