IT Business?
Hi
We are looking into emigrating to Brisbane or the sunshine coast. Anyone know if I could setup an IT related business (supplying PC's & Laptops, installing networks, mending broken PC's etc). Currently I run a business in the UK that does this and I would love to do this in Australia.
Anyone in these areas have any ideas on whether this type of business could be succesful?

starting a new business is always going to be tough wherever you are. so maybe you could do with finding out how much competition there is.

This seems like a good idea - as you're not there yet you could do a search on www.yellowpages.com.au to get a general feel for the area.

Question to Alpha
As you are there, how much competition do you reckon I would have?, also what do the companies over there charge (hourly)?
I really don't want to work for anyone anymore, I love being self employed over here (UK), combine this with OZ good weather, walk to the beach Etc and I reckon my life will be complete
BTW Hoping to settle either in Moololaba/Caloundra or Brisbane suburbs
