From Vision to Venture: The Sole Trader Set-Up Package for Disability Support Providers

🚀 From Vision to Venture: The Sole Trader Set-Up Package for Disability Support Providers

Starting your own disability support service as a sole trader is a bold and empowering move. It’s a chance to shape your practice around your values, offer personalized care, and build a business that makes a real impact. But let’s be honest getting set up can feel overwhelming.

Between compliance requirements, documentation, and client onboarding, it’s easy to get stuck in the admin maze. That’s why I created the Sole Trader Complete Set-Up Package—a comprehensive bundle designed to help you launch with confidence, clarity, and care.

🎯 Why Sole Traders Need a Strong Foundation

Whether you're transitioning from agency work or starting fresh, sole traders face unique challenges:

• Navigating NDIS compliance and service agreements

• Creating professional documentation that reflects inclusive values

• Managing client onboarding, privacy, and communication

• Building a workflow that’s both efficient and empowering

Without the right tools, these tasks can drain your energy and distract from what matters most, supporting your clients.

📦 What’s Inside the Set-Up Package?

This bundle includes 9 essential documents to help you start strong:

• ✅ How to Become a Sole Trader
