FAQ

Any small business WITH AN ABN in Australia can join.

Regardless if you have a shop front, you are on location, you sell wholesale, or you are just online. Any small business with that has 1 – 20 employees can join our directory.

A small business is defined as: a sole trader or UP TO 20 employees. (Transparency is a must for this directory. When making your listing, we rely on your honesty when creating your listing).

BUT FIRST:

You MUST have a VALID ABN.

We will always do a quick search to ensure you business is an Australian Registered Business before we approve your listing.

****PLEASE NOTE: Our directory does not currently accept franchises or MLMs that aren’t attached to your own small business.*********

SECONDLY:

Your business must be connected to your OWN WEBSITE (your main link MUST lead to the HOME PAGE of your website), or if your main website page is an Instagram or Facebook page, we will accept that too. We will not accept URLs that connect us to blogs, other directories, etc.

I don’t have an ABN – can I join?

No. Sorry. To keep this directory with valid Australian Businesses – you MUST have an ABN.

I am a newspaper or magazine or directory?

Sorry, we don’t accept online newspaper, magazines or other directories or links to other directories.

My business is a MLM, can I join?

There is much debate about whether or not a MLM is classified as a small business. We know many Australians who rely on this structure for an income and classify themselves as a small business. To be fair on this structure we want to meet you in the middle – we would like to include your Aussie Small but require you to have a small business that INCORPORATES these products INTO your existing small business.

So – for example >>> you may have a hair salon that incorporates Nutrimetics hair products, you may have a nutrition business that uses Doterra, you may have a cleaning business that uses Amway.

We are so happy you have created your listing.

Give us 24hours to run your ABN check and to ensure your listing is looking great.

Then it will be live!

We are super passionate about sharing small businesses all around Australia and have created a Instagram and Facebook pages that are directly linked to your particular state. We have also created them particularly for the Second Page Directory – where this page unites small businesses not only on a local level but ALL AROUND AUSTRALIA — and, to the world!

Therefore, when you join us, you will immediately get promoted not only the directory itself, but on the Second Page socials and the small business pages from your state.

Then the collaborative members get access to our communities.

We do a write-up on your business and share it with both communities. We also share your BUSINESS stories on a regular basis.

The story shares must be promoting something BUSINESS specific – your products, a giveaway or a new product launch.

To share your stories with us, it’s best if you ag us and then DM us a screenshot of the post which we will then schedule to share.

If there is one thing we have learnt while compiling this directory, it’s that with so many small businesses there are an abundance of categories! We have done our best to narrow them down into 12 main categories and from there your customers can find you through sub-categories and then tags.

If you are a free member you will only get to choose one main category with one tag. Remember – this is where people will find you, so choose it carefully (you can always log in and change it later on if you change your mind).

Collaborative/Social Members can choose multiple categories and tags – which means = MORE PEOPLE WILL FIND YOU. This especially suits those businesses with a range of different products.

If you can’t find a category that defines your business or your particular product, drop us a line down below and we will help you work out where you fit!

We would hate to see you go, the more members we have the more work we can do our grand vision for this website. We want to support small businesses as much as we can, this is our foundation and we can’t wait for you to see what we have in store for version 2.0!!!

You can come and go as you please. No contracts, no pressure, no stress, no drama.

For those of you who choose to sign up as social members, the charge is on a month to month basis. If you decide to opt out, that’s fine. Once the payment stops, your listing will automatically be reverted into a free small listing.

If you would like to come of permanently, then simply log into your account and delete your listing.
