Who this is for
Which one are you?
Individual tutors who want to stop working through someone else’s agency and start charging their own rate, properly.
You already do the work. Time to own it.
Every shift, session or visit, the business you work for keeps $25–50 an hour, and the relationships you built sit on their books. You’ve thought about going out on your own and stalled at registration, policies and systems.
One weeks from now: Registered or trading under your own name, the clients who said they’d follow you signed, invoices going out at the full rate, and room to bring others on under your brand.

Keep the job. Build the asset.
Most side-business ideas leave you with a to-do list. What you want is the finished thing: a site that looks credible, enrolments or bookings that run without you, and paperwork that makes clients say yes.
One weeks from now: You finish work at five, open the laptop at seven, and see bookings made, invoices paid and one enquiry to reply to. The systems did the admin.

Clean, compliant, no goodwill premium.
Existing businesses come with inflated goodwill, messy books and a seller who is the business. Franchises come with royalties for life.
One weeks from now: You own a registered, compliant business with clean books from day one, no seller to manage out, and a launch plan already running. Honest note: a setup comes with everything except the customers — if you need revenue in week one, an acquisition may suit you better, and we’ll say so.

No background needed. The build carries you.
What stops most people switching industries isn’t ability — it’s not knowing what they don’t know: which registrations, which policies, what an auditor or a parent checks.
One weeks from now: Trading, with documents in your name, recruitment materials already attracting applicants, and a training recording you can rewatch.

A new revenue line, bolted on, in weeks.
You can see the adjacent revenue — the clients who ask, the referrals you send elsewhere. Setting it up properly is the project that never gets done.
One weeks from now: The new line is live under your brand, the first clients came from your existing customer list, and the systems talk to the ones you already use.

Milestone payments
40% to start, 40% at the middle milestone, 20% at handover. You only ever pay for a stage that's done. Stop at any point and keep everything built so far.
Fixed scope, fixed price
The inclusions list on the page is the contract. No hourly rates, no surprise invoices, no upsell in week three.
Investment
$2,500 inc. GST. Fixed. That's the whole number.
What it replaces
-
Working through an agency $25–40 an hour you never see
-
DIY website + templates $800–2,000 and a weekend or three
-
Doing nothing Another term at someone else's rate
At $65/hour, the starter pays for itself in about 40 sessions.

*Registered NDIS and aged care setups: the build is 2 weeks; the regulator’s registration decision typically takes 3–6 months. Honest note: a franchise gives you a recognised name and an acquisition gives you day-one revenue. If either matters more than ownership and margin, we’ll tell you on the call.
FAQ
The things you're wondering
Is this enough to trade legally?
It covers the essentials for a sole-trader tutor: ABN, WWCC, agreement, privacy notice and invoicing. Insurance is guided, not included.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes — the full $2,500 is credited against the Tutoring Agency setup if you upgrade within six months.
Do I get a real website?
A single professional page on your own domain with an enquiry form — enough for parents to check you out and get in touch.
How fast?
Seven days from kickoff, assuming you turn around sign-offs within a day.
What if I get halfway and can't continue?
You stop at the last completed stage and keep everything built to that point. Milestone payments mean this is never a sunk cost.
How do I know you'll deliver?
Watch the walkthrough, open the demo, and note that you pay in stages — we only get paid when each stage is done. Nemco has built businesses for clients since 2013.

Setup Finder quiz
Not sure this is the right setup? Two minutes will tell you.
Six questions on experience, interest, knowledge, time, budget and goals. Rules-based, honest, and it will say “not yet” if that’s the answer.
Two minutes. Six questions. An honest steer.
Experience, interest, knowledge, time, budget and what you're after — we score all six setups and tell you the best fit, the runner-up, or "not yet". It's a guide; the 20-minute call confirms it.
Which is closest to your experience?
Pick one to continue.
What kind of work do you actually want to own?
Pick one to continue.
How much do you know about the rules — registration, standards, audits — in that industry?
Pick one to continue.
How much time can you give it in the first three months?
Pick one to continue.
What can you invest in the setup itself (not counting working capital)?
Pick one to continue.
What matters most to you?
Pick one to continue.
Where should we send your result?
We'll email a one-page summary of your fit and what it replaces for you. No spam, no auto-dialler.
Ready to find out if this fits?
Twenty minutes, no pitch. We’ll tell you honestly whether this setup, the starter, or nothing at all is right for where you’re coming from.
P.S. The $2,500 is a one-off. Whatever it replaces for you — the margin your employer keeps, the royalties, the goodwill, the months of evenings — is not.
Deposit secures your start date and covers Stage 1; refundable in full if Stage 1 hasn’t started. Milestone payments due on completion of each stage. Services agreement follows payment. Regulator, audit and insurance fees are paid by you directly. Nemco Group · ABN 95 164 685 849.
