For food, beverage + retail businesses.

YOU’VE GOT THE IDEA. NOW WHAT?
YOU DON’T HAVE TO FIGURE IT ALL OUT YOURSELF.
Maybe you’ve got the product ready. Maybe you’ve already started selling. Or maybe the idea has been sitting in your head because you don’t know where to begin.
The hard part is figuring out what actually applies to your business and what needs to happen before you’re ready to trade.
Do I need an ABN?
What insurance do I need?
Do I need council approval?
What are FoodTrader and a Statement of Trade?
What equipment do I actually need?
What do market organisers look for?
Am I ready to start applying?
From Idea to Market gives you a clear path forward based on your business — not somebody else’s.

02
TELL US ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS
Complete your Market-Ready Assessment so we can understand what you’re selling, what you’ve already set up and where you need support.
03
WE REVIEW EVERYTHING
Before your session, we’ll review your assessment so we already understand your business and aren’t starting from scratch when we meet.
04

Sit down with us for your personalised 90-minute strategy session and work through what your business needs to get closer to its first market.
05
GET YOUR MAKETE BLUEPRINT
We’ll turn everything we’ve worked through into a personalised roadmap showing your next steps.
LEARN THE FOUNDATIONS
WE TEACH THE FOUNDATIONS BEFORE WE MEET.
Before we sit down together, you’ll work through the business foundations every new vendor should understand.
Your Foundations Workbook works alongside the lessons, helping you start making decisions for your business and capture the questions we’ll work through together.
THE FOUNDATIONS LIBRARY
- Lesson 01 — Business Name
- Lesson 02 — Business Structure
- Lesson 03 — ABN
- Lesson 04 — Business Finances
- Lesson 05 — Business Online
Lesson 06 — What Happens Next wraps up the Foundations Library and transitions you into your personalised strategy session.
Things like permits, insurance, food requirements, stall setup and market applications aren’t separate lessons. Depending on your business, we work through what applies to you during your personalised strategy process.
BEFORE WE MEET
WE GET TO KNOW YOUR BUSINESS FIRST.
Your Market-Ready Assessment gives us a look behind the scenes before your strategy session.
Before we meet, you’ll complete your Market-Ready Assessment. This gives us a clear picture of your business, what you’ve already set up, where you’re currently stuck and what you need help with.
We’ll review your assessment before your strategy session so we can spend our time together focused on your business rather than starting from scratch.
PERSONALISED 90-MINUTE STRATEGY SESSION
THIS IS WHERE WE PUT IT ALL TOGETHER.
This isn’t another general lesson. This is where we sit down together and work specifically on your business — based on what you sell, where you’re at and what your assessment shows.
Depending on your business, we may work through things like:
BUSINESS FOUNDATIONS
COMPLIANCE
MARKET READINESS
STALL + PRESENTATION
PROMOTION + GROWTH
We don’t cover every topic for the sake of it. We focus on what your business actually needs.
YOUR PERSONALISED PLAN
YOUR MAKETE BLUEPRINT.
A personalised roadmap from where your business is now to what you need to work through next — created from your Market-Ready Assessment and 90-minute strategy session. Every business is different, so every Blueprint is too. It may include:
ALREADY SORTED
What you already have in place.
DO NOW
The things that need your attention first.
DO NEXT
What comes after your immediate priorities.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST MARKET
What needs to be ready before you trade.
CAN WAIT
Things you don’t need to worry about yet.
YOUR NEXT MOVE
The immediate action that keeps you moving forward.
The goal is simple: you leave knowing exactly where you’re at and what you need to do next.
WHY LE MAKETE?
WE SEE BOTH SIDES OF THE STALL.
Before Le Makete, we were vendors too. We’ve navigated the registrations, applications, insurance, compliance, market prep and all the questions that come with trying to get a small business off the ground.
Today, as market organisers, we also see the other side — reviewing applications, checking requirements, curating vendor mixes and seeing what helps businesses show up well.
From Idea to Market is the kind of support we wish existed when we were starting out.
READY TO START?
FROM IDEA. TO MARKET.
