Starting a new business in Brisbane

16 years ago
Hi,
We are a family of 2 adults, 2 children (aged 7 and 9). We are currently in the process of gaining our visa, catergory 163 Business Visa.

We are at the last stage of medicals and police checks and whilst we can't wait to start our new life we are getting really nervous!

We are being allowed the chance to start a company in Queensland and we have decided to move to Brisbane due to the range of opportunities available. Our business plan is based around our existing company which manufactures and retails window blinds/ shades.

I would be really grateful if anybody could give us feedback on issues such as;
how the economy is doing at the moment, is there much support for new business start ups, is there a great demand for window blinds, is retail property very expensive, etc etc....

Any advice at all would be very warmly appreciated. xx
